Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ballistic at 55% against Rifle Shot Timer's 0%. Ballistic also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (51 vs 2).

Both are free to download. Ballistic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Rifle Shot Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Rifle Shot Timer holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ballistic has 51 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Ballistic's written reviews are positive against 0% of Rifle Shot Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ballistic ships an update every 3 months, Rifle Shot Timer every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
