Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My Leviton at 4.6 against GX Timer's 4.0. My Leviton also leads on ratings volume (6.3K vs 1). GX Timer's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
My Leviton holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Leviton has 6.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of My Leviton's written reviews are positive against 100% of GX Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
My Leviton ships an update fortnightly, GX Timer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
