# timer. vs Timer

The clearest difference is ratings volume: timer. at 170 against Timer's 15. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. timer. sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for timer. against 4.4 for Timer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: timer. has 170 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 63% of timer.'s written reviews are positive against 67% of Timer's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on August 16, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
