# Prime vs EatTimer

The clearest difference is monetization model: Prime at free with in-app purchases against EatTimer's subscription. Prime also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 13%) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 221). EatTimer's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prime sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and EatTimer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

EatTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Prime has 4.6K ratings behind it against 221, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Prime's written reviews are positive against 13% of EatTimer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and July 5, 2026 respectively.
