# iGate BMX vs Par Timer Pro

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iGate BMX at 100% against Par Timer Pro's 59%. iGate BMX also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 16) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Par Timer Pro's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

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.
