Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.
