"I do not need anything else but I want to set the time fast ..." Timer Holic is aiming for a different goal than many of the timer apps out there. We focused on things that were quick and easy to set up, rather than rich features. No matter what time you set, it can take a few seconds. Other features - Customizable alert message - Use up to 10 timers at the same time - Set time by second - Stopwatch (set time to 1 second) "Leave the small timing to Timer Holic and you pay attention to more important things."

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Timer Holic at 4.9 against CusTimer's 4.0. Timer Holic also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 1). CusTimer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer Holic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. CusTimer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Timer Holic holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer Holic has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of CusTimer's written reviews are positive against 93% of Timer Holic's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CusTimer ships an update every 2 weeks, Timer Holic every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 24, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
