# Portal Timer vs Anemoia

The clearest difference is rating: Anemoia at 4.7 against Portal Timer's 4.0. Anemoia also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (216 vs 2). Portal Timer's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Portal Timer sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Anemoia asks for nothing beyond the download.

Anemoia holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anemoia has 216 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Portal Timer's written reviews are positive against 92% of Anemoia's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Portal Timer ships an update weekly, Anemoia every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
