Verdict
The clearest difference is price: NekoFocus at Free against Tomato Kitchen's $0.99. NekoFocus also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). Tomato Kitchen's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
