Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SetGo at none against Timer Plus's shown. SetGo also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Timer Plus's advantage is ratings volume (60K vs 1) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer Plus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and SetGo sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SetGo 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.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
