# Par Timer Pro vs Range Drills

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Range Drills at 100% against Par Timer Pro's 59%. Range Drills also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Par Timer Pro's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (374 vs 3). On price, ads, 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 Range Drills sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Range Drills holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Par Timer Pro has 374 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of Par Timer Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of Range Drills's.

Par Timer Pro ships an update weekly, Range Drills every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and August 4, 2026 respectively.
