# Timer vs AssistiV Reader

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AssistiV Reader at none against Timer's 3. AssistiV Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown). Timer's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. AssistiV Reader asks for nothing beyond the download.
