# timer. vs Multi Timer

The clearest difference is ads: timer. at none against Multi Timer's shown. timer. also leads on ratings volume (170 vs 3) and review sentiment (63% vs 50%). Multi Timer's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Multi Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: timer. has 170 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of timer.'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Multi Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

timer. ships an update every 3 months, Multi Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 16, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
