# Timer vs Timers Everywhere

The clearest difference is price: Timers Everywhere at Free against Timer's $3.99. Timers Everywhere also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Timer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (218 vs 8). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Timers Everywhere is free to download; Timer costs $3.99 up front. Timers Everywhere sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Timers Everywhere holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer has 218 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Timer's written reviews are positive against 71% of Timers Everywhere's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timer ships an update every 7 months, Timers Everywhere fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
