Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pomodoro at 4.7 against S1 Timer's 1.8. Pomodoro also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 19) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). S1 Timer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
