# MultiTimer vs Stopwatch

The clearest difference is rating: MultiTimer at 4.8 against Stopwatch's 4.2. MultiTimer also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 60 months) and review sentiment (82% vs 67%). Stopwatch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MultiTimer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Stopwatch asks for nothing beyond the download.

MultiTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MultiTimer has 76 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 82% of MultiTimer's written reviews are positive against 67% of Stopwatch's.

MultiTimer ships an update every 2 months, Stopwatch every 60 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
