Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Purrmodoro at none against GitHouse's 2. Purrmodoro also leads on device support (3 vs 1). GitHouse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
