# GPS Race Timer vs BACDisplay

The clearest difference is review sentiment: BACDisplay at 100% against GPS Race Timer's 34%. BACDisplay also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). GPS Race Timer's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (2.7K vs 1). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Race Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BACDisplay asks for nothing beyond the download.

GPS Race Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Race Timer has 2.7K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of GPS Race Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of BACDisplay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
