Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Saplingy at none against Pomodoro's 5. Saplingy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). Pomodoro's advantage is ratings volume (11K vs 62) and review sentiment (50% vs 26%). On price there is nothing between them.
