# ChickFocus vs Pomomento

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ChickFocus at 1K against Pomomento's 1. ChickFocus also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Pomomento's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). 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 Pomomento sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pomomento holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChickFocus has 1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ChickFocus ships an update every 6 days, Pomomento every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
