# 1Timer vs Random Timer Generator

The clearest difference is rating: 1Timer at 4.7 against Random Timer Generator's 3.8. 1Timer also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 56). Random Timer Generator's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 1Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Random Timer Generator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

1Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 1Timer has 1.2K ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of 1Timer's written reviews are positive against 83% of Random Timer Generator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

1Timer ships an update every 6 weeks, Random Timer Generator every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
