Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Risk Battle Simulator at 100% against PokerTimer's 76%. Risk Battle Simulator also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). PokerTimer's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 17) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PokerTimer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Risk Battle Simulator sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PokerTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PokerTimer has 1.3K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of PokerTimer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Risk Battle Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PokerTimer ships an update every 3 months, Risk Battle Simulator every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
