# Shot Timer vs Range Shot

The clearest difference is price: Shot Timer at Free against Range Shot's $0.99. Shot Timer also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 13 months). Range Shot's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (50% vs 22%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Shot Timer is free to download; Range Shot costs $0.99 up front. Shot Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Range Shot asks for nothing beyond the download.

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 2, 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 Range Shot'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, Range Shot every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 2, 2026 respectively.
