# ChickFocus vs Pomo

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ChickFocus at 1.1K against Pomo's 1. Pomo's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 89%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChickFocus sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Pomo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pomo holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChickFocus has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 89% of ChickFocus's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pomo's.

ChickFocus ships an update every 9 days, Pomo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
