Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tikkle at none against Pomodoro RPG's 6. Tikkle also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks). Pomodoro RPG's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
