Both are free to download. Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Simply Timers asks for nothing beyond the download.
Simply Timers holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Simply Timers's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
