# ChickFocus vs 番茄时钟

The clearest difference is ads: ChickFocus at none against 番茄时钟's shown. ChickFocus also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 4) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks). 番茄时钟's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChickFocus sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and 番茄时钟 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for ChickFocus against 4.8 for 番茄时钟. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChickFocus has 1K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 89% of ChickFocus's written reviews are positive against 100% of 番茄时钟's.

ChickFocus ships an update every 8 days, 番茄时钟 every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
