# Rhythm vs EatTimer

Rhythm and EatTimer both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of Rhythm's written reviews are positive against 13% of EatTimer's. Rhythm also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). EatTimer's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 13 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EatTimer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Rhythm asks for nothing beyond the download.

EatTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 454 and 221 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of Rhythm's written reviews are positive against 13% of EatTimer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Rhythm ships an update every 13 months, EatTimer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
