# 1Timer vs Sound Timer

The clearest difference is ads: Sound Timer at none against 1Timer's shown. Sound Timer also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). 1Timer's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 1Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days 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 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 1Timer has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
