# Speaker Presentation Timer vs Timer

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.

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 29, 2026 respectively.
