# Elapsed Timer vs One Timer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: One Timer at 100% against Elapsed Timer's 50%. One Timer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and ads (none vs shown). Elapsed Timer's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Elapsed Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and One Timer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

One Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Elapsed Timer has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Elapsed Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of One Timer's.

Elapsed Timer ships an update every 2 months, One Timer every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
