Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TapTimr at 5.0 against iEventTimer's 4.4. iEventTimer's advantage is update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 15 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

iEventTimer costs $0.99 and TapTimr $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TapTimr holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iEventTimer has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iEventTimer's written reviews are positive against 75% of TapTimr's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iEventTimer ships an update every 5 weeks, TapTimr every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
