Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Safa at none against Pomodoro Timer's 3. Safa also leads on ads (none vs shown). Pomodoro Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
