Sporo is a little seedling who lives on your home screen. He watches the local pollen count so you don't have to. When pollen is low, he's fine. When it's high, he's not. His mood, expression, and everything around him change with the air outside. You can also pet him. Pollen data for your area -- tree, grass, weed. Trend arrows. 5-day forecast. Your top allergen by name. Widgets and lock screen. Alerts when conditions change. In character, obviously. No account. No ads. No tracking. Runs on your device. sporo says: "you're probably allergic to me. sorry about that."

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Pollen Pet at every 8 days against Base JC's every 2 months. Base JC's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
