# RangeTech vs Par Timer Pro

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RangeTech at none against Par Timer Pro's 16. RangeTech also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 58%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Par Timer Pro's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Par Timer Pro sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. RangeTech asks for nothing beyond the download.

Par Timer Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Par Timer Pro has 367 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of RangeTech's written reviews are positive against 58% of Par Timer Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

RangeTech ships an update every 2 months, Par Timer Pro weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
