# Exercise Timer vs Voice Pacer

The clearest difference is ads: Exercise Timer at none against Voice Pacer's shown. Exercise Timer also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 2). Voice Pacer's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Exercise Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Voice Pacer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Voice Pacer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exercise Timer has 1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Exercise Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Voice Pacer's.

Exercise Timer ships an update monthly, Voice Pacer every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 23, 2026 respectively.
