# LaserHIT vs Par Timer Pro

The clearest difference is update cadence: Par Timer Pro at weekly against LaserHIT's every 5 weeks. Par Timer Pro also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). LaserHIT's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LaserHIT sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and Par Timer Pro sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Par Timer Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 262 and 367 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of LaserHIT's written reviews are positive against 58% of Par Timer Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LaserHIT ships an update every 5 weeks, Par Timer Pro weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
