# Timer vs The TimeSpeak

The clearest difference is price: The TimeSpeak at Free against Timer's $3.99. The TimeSpeak also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Timer's advantage is ratings volume (222 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

The TimeSpeak is free to download; Timer costs $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

The TimeSpeak holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer has 222 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of The TimeSpeak's.
