# ABTimers vs 1Timer

The clearest difference is ads: ABTimers at none against 1Timer's shown. ABTimers also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (100% vs 81%). 1Timer's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ABTimers sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 1Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

1Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 1Timer has 1.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of ABTimers's written reviews are positive against 81% of 1Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ABTimers ships an update every 2 weeks, 1Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
