A timer built for speedcubers. Splits times to the thousandth of a second, generates a real scramble for every solve, and gives you the averages that actually tell you whether you are getting faster. No account, no ads, and nothing to set up — open it and hold. TIMING THAT GETS OUT OF THE WAY Hold to arm, release to start, tap to stop. Optional 15-second WCA inspection, an optional hold delay, and a full-screen face that stays readable across the room. Mark any solve +2 or DNF after the fact. ELEVEN PUZZLES, PROPER SCRAMBLES 3x3, 2x2, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, 7x7, Pyraminx, Skewb, Megaminx, Square-1 and Clock — each with scrambles generated for that event, and a preview of the scrambled cube so you know you turned it right. AVERAGES THAT MEAN SOMETHING Ao5 and Ao12 as you solve, with the best and worst dropped the way the WCA does it. Pro keeps every solve with the scramble it was solved on, and turns that history into a rolling trend chart and a distribution of your times — so a good day is something you can see rather than something you remember. SESSIONS — PRO Keep a warm-up apart from a serious run, or one-handed apart from two. An average over a session is a number you can use; an average over everything you have ever done is not. CHALLENGE A FRIEND Share a solve as a link. They get your exact scramble and your time to beat, and they can race it in a browser without installing anything. No account on either end. SPLITS PRO An optional auto-renewing subscription that adds saved solve history, sessions, Ao50 and Ao100, hiding the running time while you solve, and backup of your history to your own iCloud — not to us. There is no Splits server, and your solves never pass through one. $2.99 per month or $29.99 per year, after a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. PRIVACY Your solves are written to your device and stay there. No accounts, no ads, no advertising identifiers, and nothing sold or shared, ever. The app reports crashes and performance so bugs can be fixed; that is described in full at splitscubetimer.com/privacy.html. Free to use, with an optional Pro subscription. iPhone and iPad.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Splits at none against Record it!'s shown. Splits also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 8 days). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
