Sandypad is a speedrun timer. The app was made for iOS, taking advantage of the platform technologies. Add one or more games, and for each of them, add as many categories as you’d like. Adjust the timer by defining the precision (seconds, tenths, hundreths or thousandths). It is also possible to set a countdown to adjust the start of the run. Set which information are displayed during a run like the sum of best or the best possible time. For each category, show the segments and their time, and modify them with an intuitive user interface. Sync your times on all your devices using iCloud. Take advantage of widgets which allow you to quickly access the last runned games and open them right from the home screen. The app saves all you runs times, allowing you to come back to and analyse any previous run. On iPad, take advantage of keyboard shortcuts to manage your run without even touching the screen.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TierCreator at none against Sandypad's 1. TierCreator also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (488 vs 18). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sandypad sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. TierCreator asks for nothing beyond the download.
TierCreator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TierCreator has 488 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Sandypad's written reviews are positive against 86% of TierCreator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sandypad ships an update every 5 months, TierCreator every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
