# SpeakTimer vs Sound Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Sound Timer at 5.0 against SpeakTimer's 4.4. Sound Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). SpeakTimer's advantage is ratings volume (218 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SpeakTimer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Sound Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Sound Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SpeakTimer has 218 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
