Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pommmo at none against Focus timer's shown. Pommmo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Focus timer's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
