# Sun Quest vs Laundry Timer

The clearest difference is ads: Sun Quest at none against Laundry Timer's shown. Sun Quest also leads on ratings volume (740 vs 20) and chart position (#113 vs unranked). Laundry Timer's advantage is review sentiment (92% vs 57%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sun Quest sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Laundry Timer sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Laundry Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sun Quest has 740 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Sun Quest's written reviews are positive against 92% of Laundry Timer's.

Sun Quest ships an update every 2 weeks, Laundry Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
