# Timer Plus vs Warudo

The clearest difference is ads: Warudo at none against Timer Plus's shown. Warudo also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Timer Plus's advantage is ratings volume (60K vs 5) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Warudo 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 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 94% of Timer Plus's written reviews are positive against 100% of Warudo's.

Timer Plus ships an update every 3 weeks, Warudo every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
