The clearest difference is review sentiment: DayNinja at 100% against Pomodoro & Focus Timer's 47%. DayNinja also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown).

Both are free to download. Pomodoro & Focus Timer sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. DayNinja asks for nothing beyond the download.

Pomodoro & Focus Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pomodoro & Focus Timer has 87 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of DayNinja's written reviews are positive against 47% of Pomodoro & Focus Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
