Both are free to download. Pour sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Espresso Scale with Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Pour holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pour has 54 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Espresso Scale with Timer's written reviews are positive against 44% of Pour's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Espresso Scale with Timer ships an update every 9 days, Pour every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
