# Par Timer Pro vs BSHOCK

The clearest difference is rating: BSHOCK at 4.8 against Par Timer Pro's 4.5. Par Timer Pro's advantage is ratings volume (367 vs 8) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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 BSHOCK sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BSHOCK holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Par Timer Pro has 367 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Par Timer Pro's written reviews are positive against 50% of BSHOCK's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Par Timer Pro ships an update weekly, BSHOCK every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
