# Focus To vs Timero

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Focus To at 15K against Timero's 511. Focus To also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 62%) and device support (4 vs 2). Timero's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focus To sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Timero sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Focus To against 4.7 for Timero. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focus To has 15K ratings behind it against 511, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Focus To's written reviews are positive against 62% of Timero's.

Focus To ships an update every 5 weeks, Timero every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
