Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Mixing Station at 4.5 against GX Timer's 4.0. Mixing Station also leads on ratings volume (624 vs 1).

Both are free to download. Mixing Station sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. GX Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Mixing Station holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mixing Station has 624 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Mixing Station's written reviews are positive against 100% of GX Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mixing Station ships an update fortnightly, GX Timer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
