No longer do you have to pull yourself away from your audience to check the time. You no longer have to ask, "How am I doing for time?" nor, "How much time do I have left?" In theatre, stage actors can never break the 4th wall. The 4th wall is the imaginary wall between the actor and the audience. Professional Speakers have the same limitation. Every time you look at your watch or run to the lectern to check your time, you pull yourself from the audience and their needs. You are essentially going from "I am being of service to you!" to "I am up here doing my job - and oh, yea, I have 5 minutes left!" You can set Speaker Presentation Timer and the Pro Speaker Presentation Timer to prompt individual components of your speech and stealthily vibrate in your pocket (or on your watch) as you reach your critical sections. With Pro Speaker Presentation Timer, only you will know you're on stage with a job to do.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Timer at 4.4 against Speaker Presentation Timer's 1.0. Timer also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (442 vs 2). Speaker Presentation Timer's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (50% vs 20%). On price, ads and in-app purchases 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
Both are free to download. Speaker Presentation Timer sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer has 442 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Speaker Presentation Timer's written reviews are positive against 20% of Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Speaker Presentation Timer ships an update every 6 weeks, Timer every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on June 4, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
