|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BPro shows up on the US App Store at $3.99 or $12.99 a month and $34.99 to $69.99 a year, with no word on how they differ. PIXO doesn't say what Pro adds either. The lowest prices are about typical, so check the amount before you tap. | AIt's free. The web app runs without payment, and neither its pages nor its code list a paid plan. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe apps are free downloads and the web version has a free sign-up, so you can start without paying. But the vendor doesn't publish which features need Pro, so we can't tell you where the free version stops. | AThe whole app is free and works without an account. Signing in with Google is optional, and keeps your timer settings in sync across devices. |
| Features | BThe classic 25 and 5 cycle, your own session and break lengths, sessions logged automatically, charts of focus time and tasks next to the timer. That's the timer job done properly. There's no blocking of apps or websites, though. | CA timer with work sessions of 5 to 60 minutes, short and long breaks, 2 to 15 rounds and eight notification sounds. Beyond that it's thin. The site's description mentions session labels and a stats page, but the app loaded without signing in shows only a timer and settings. |
| Ease of use | A4.8 from about 32,000 App Store ratings. It's a timer, so you press start. It can begin the next session for you too. | BIt's a web app, so there's no App Store rating to go on and a B is as far as we'll go. Open the page and start the timer. The defaults are the classic 25 minutes of work and 5 of break, over 4 rounds. |
| Platforms and integrations | BiPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Android and a timer in the browser, with one history across them. There's no Mac or Windows app, and no integrations are listed. | CWeb only, with no integrations listed. It can be installed from the browser as a standalone app on a phone or a computer, and runs offline once loaded. Google is the only sign-in it offers. |
