Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: PokerTimer at 1.2K against Ratings Now!'s 3. PokerTimer also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Ratings Now!'s advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 76%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. PokerTimer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ratings Now! sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ratings Now! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PokerTimer has 1.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 76% of PokerTimer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ratings Now!'s.
