# Structured vs Dote Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Structured at 4.8 against Dote Timer's 4.4. Structured also leads on ratings volume (166K vs 36) and chart position (#92 vs unranked). Dote Timer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and review sentiment (88% vs 78%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Structured sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Dote Timer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Structured holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Structured has 166K ratings behind it against 36, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Structured's written reviews are positive against 88% of Dote Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Structured ships an update fortnightly, Dote Timer every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
