Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shot Timer at 4.1 against Pistol Shot Timer's 3.5. Shot Timer also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (452 vs 13). Pistol Shot Timer's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 22%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Shot Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pistol Shot Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Shot Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shot Timer has 452 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Shot Timer's written reviews are positive against 50% of Pistol Shot Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shot Timer ships an update every 2 weeks, Pistol Shot Timer every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 13, 2026 respectively.
