# Timer ٞ vs Matrix Clocca

The clearest difference is rating: Timer ٞ at 4.4 against Matrix Clocca's 2.3. Timer ٞ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 3). Matrix Clocca's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 16 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Matrix Clocca sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Timer ٞ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Timer ٞ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer ٞ has 1.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 36% of Timer ٞ's written reviews are positive against 50% of Matrix Clocca's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timer ٞ ships an update every 16 months, Matrix Clocca weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
