# Smart Sloth vs Tiny Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Timer at 4.5 against Smart Sloth's 4.1. Tiny Timer also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Smart Sloth's advantage is review sentiment (73% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smart Sloth sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Tiny Timer sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 33 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Smart Sloth's written reviews are positive against 63% of Tiny Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smart Sloth ships an update every 2 months, Tiny Timer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
