Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Timer at 75% against Antunes Prep Timer's 0%. Timer also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). Antunes Prep Timer's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and Antunes Prep Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Antunes Prep Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer has 81 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Timer's written reviews are positive against 0% of Antunes Prep Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Timer ships an update fortnightly, Antunes Prep Timer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
