# (Not Boring) Timer vs Widgetik

The clearest difference is ads: (Not Boring) Timer at none against Widgetik's shown. (Not Boring) Timer also leads on ratings volume (2.6K vs 57) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Widgetik's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. (Not Boring) Timer sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Widgetik sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

(Not Boring) Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: (Not Boring) Timer has 2.6K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of (Not Boring) Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Widgetik's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

(Not Boring) Timer ships an update monthly, Widgetik every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
