Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Foculix at none against Tomato Focus Timer's 1. Foculix also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). Tomato Focus Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
