Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brush · Toothbrush Timer at 85% against PowNap's 33%. Brush · Toothbrush Timer also leads on price ($0.99 vs $5.99) and ratings volume (60 vs 4). PowNap's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On ads, in-app purchases, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PowNap holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brush · Toothbrush Timer has 60 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Brush · Toothbrush Timer's written reviews are positive against 33% of PowNap's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Brush · Toothbrush Timer ships an update every 2 months, PowNap weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
