# Flipd vs Pomodoro Hero

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flipd at 49% against Pomodoro Hero's 25%. Flipd also leads on ratings volume (7K vs 115). Pomodoro Hero's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flipd sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Pomodoro Hero sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pomodoro Hero holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flipd has 7K ratings behind it against 115, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Flipd's written reviews are positive against 25% of Pomodoro Hero's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Flipd ships an update every 11 days, Pomodoro Hero weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 21, 2026 respectively.
