Pick Pomofocus if
- Fits if you want a Pomodoro timer that opens in a browser tab

Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a proper phone app, as on a phone it runs in the browser, and Mobile Alarm doesn't work on iOS
- Not for you if ads would bug you and you're never paying, since only Premium removes them
- Tight if you lean on templates or projects, because the free version stops at 3 templates and has no projects
- Watch out: Todoist import, webhooks, yearly reports and report downloads are all Premium
- Watch out: the Windows download isn't signed, so Windows shows a safety warning when you install it

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
