Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Timer® at none against Timer's 1. Timer® also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (103 vs 16). Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Timer® asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Timer® holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer® has 103 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Timer's written reviews are positive against 63% of Timer®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timer ships an update every 3 months, Timer® every 11 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
