Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pomu at none against Tiny Timer's 6. Tiny Timer's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 6). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Tiny Timer sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Pomu asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pomu holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 22 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Tiny Timer's written reviews are positive against 56% of Pomu's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
