Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HangClimb Timer at none against Crimpd's 3. HangClimb Timer also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Crimpd's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Crimpd's written reviews are positive against 82% of HangClimb Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency
