Both are free to download. Par Timer Pro sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. iGate BMX asks for nothing beyond the download.
Par Timer Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Par Timer Pro has 374 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iGate BMX's written reviews are positive against 59% of Par Timer Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iGate BMX ships an update every 10 months, Par Timer Pro weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
