# Pomodoro.me vs Thiro

The clearest difference is rating: Thiro at 4.8 against Pomodoro.me's 3.0. Thiro also leads on ratings volume (49 vs 1) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pomodoro.me sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Thiro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Thiro holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Thiro has 49 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of Pomodoro.me's written reviews are positive against 83% of Thiro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pomodoro.me ships an update every 2 months, Thiro every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
