# Par Timer Pro vs Drill

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Drill at 100% against Par Timer Pro's 59%. Drill also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Par Timer Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Par Timer Pro sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Drill sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Drill holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 377 and 179 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Par Timer Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Drill's.
