What a friendly, kind, and useful idea! I love Focusmate, and though a relatively new user, I am amazed at the boost in productivity it has already brought to my life. The concept is simple: work with focussed and friendly others. Because of the commitment involved, it helps me stay on track and meet my (self-employment) work commitments. Plus it's been sweet to meet folks from all over the world.

I really enjoy using Focusmate. It’s a simple idea but very effective. Having an accountability partner makes a big difference in staying productive. It’s become part of my personal and work routine, and it helps me stay consistent. Definitely worth trying if you need help focusing. Thank you Focusmate!

I am so grateful for this platform. No words can truly express how life-changing, motivating, and connecting it has been for me to have 24/7 access to people around the globe who are also working hard to accomplish something.

I get so much done when I use FocusMate — and so little done when I don’t! The interface is so user friendly. I love that I’ve had the chance to work with people from all over the world. (That interaction — even if it’s limited to brief, cheery greetings and goodbyes — provides the extra bonus of giving me hope in a world where politics can be so depressing.). I recommend FocusMate to everyone I meet who has trouble with procrastination, avoidance, or isolation.

Since i started with focus mate about 1,5 months ago, i finished 75 sessions. I am far more productive and focused. I can do what i plan and that is simply because of this awesome platform. I can only recommend.

it's a steal , I have made a yearly subscription and couldn't use it due to lack of time , and I asked them to just pay for the three months in a monthly rate and cancel the account , and the guy completely ignored me saying it's your problem and was really treating me bad. it seems that their first objective is to make money and the people come second. really dissapointing :( update ** their reply is just a lie, it's not what happened, if they would have respected their customers they wouldn't receive negative reviews here and on reddit... FYI, I also ran a business and anyone that paid me for for the entire year and out of some reason couldn't continue, I would give back the money till the last cent, because that's how we should treat our sisters and brothers, we are all connected here on this planet. the minimum you could do, is to reach back and try to sort things out, that would be nice.

Response from Focusmate· Mar 23, 2026
Hi Yair, You reached out before upgrading to ask if we offered partial refunds for the annual plan. We let you know that the annual plan is a one-year commitment with no refunds once the refund window has passed. We then suggested signing up for the monthly plan, which offers more flexibility. You chose the annual plan, used the product for 2 months, and then requested a refund — which we declined in accordance with both our policy and our prior conversation with you. We understand that's frustrating, and we respect your right to share your experience. But we want anyone reading this to know the full picture. We treat our customers the way we'd want any business to treat us, and we stand by how we've handled your case.
