# GoalSteps | Goal Tracker vs Pomodoro Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Pomodoro Timer at 4.7 against GoalSteps | Goal Tracker's 4.2. Pomodoro Timer also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). GoalSteps | Goal Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GoalSteps | Goal Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Pomodoro Timer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Pomodoro Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of GoalSteps | Goal Tracker's written reviews are positive against 82% of Pomodoro Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GoalSteps | Goal Tracker ships an update every 2 weeks, Pomodoro Timer every 2 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
