Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Activations at Free against Sezzy Timer's $1.99. Activations also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.9) and review sentiment (89% vs 50%). Sezzy Timer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Activations is free to download; Sezzy Timer costs $1.99 up front. Activations sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Sezzy Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.
