# SubTime vs Soccer Coach Timer

The clearest difference is rating: SubTime at 4.7 against Soccer Coach Timer's 3.8. SubTime also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 15 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SubTime sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and Soccer Coach Timer sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SubTime holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SubTime has 684 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of SubTime's written reviews are positive against 65% of Soccer Coach Timer's.

SubTime ships an update every 3 weeks, Soccer Coach Timer every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 28, 2026 respectively.
