# Timer Plus vs i

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Timer Plus at 94% against i's 43%. Timer Plus also leads on ratings volume (60K vs 1) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). i's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer Plus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and i sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

i holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer Plus has 60K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Timer Plus's written reviews are positive against 43% of i's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timer Plus ships an update every 3 weeks, i every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
