Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Contraction Timer & Tracker at 4.8 against Babykoala's 2.3. Contraction Timer & Tracker also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 3). Babykoala's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 55%) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Contraction Timer & Tracker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Babykoala sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Contraction Timer & Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Contraction Timer & Tracker has 1.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Contraction Timer & Tracker's written reviews are positive against 89% of Babykoala's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Contraction Timer & Tracker ships an update fortnightly, Babykoala weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
