# Timer Task vs timer.

The clearest difference is rating: Timer Task at 5.0 against timer.'s 4.3. Timer Task also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). timer.'s advantage is ratings volume (170 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer Task sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and timer. sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timer Task holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3.
