P-Timer is a timer app for use in presentations, talk, lecture, speeches, etc.. When Target time (presentation time) elapses, it will play the bell sounds "ding-dong". If Target time is exceeded, the bell can be made to automatically sound according to pre-set time (for several times, etc.). Time and the alalogue chronograph are displayed so that the remaining time can be recognized easily. Moreover, you can confirm when you executed and how long it had taken and completed by that history funcion later. Great for use in not only presentations, but for sports, studying, work, and a variety of other uses. Note : We recommend that it makes a radio waves off so that the calling may not happen in use of presentations etc.. Presentation time : 0 - 999[min] 59[sec] Presentation over time : 0 - 999[min] 59[sec] Number of histories : 1 - 200 Time display : 24[hour] or AM/PM Sound type : Bell, Gong, Chinese gong Note: the volume in the app is determined by the volume set on your device, so if the volume is too low, please increase the volume on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: P at 50% against Public Meeting Timer's 20%. P also leads on update cadence (every 11 months vs every 25 months) and price ($0.99 vs $1.99). Public Meeting Timer's advantage is iOS requirement (13.6 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
