# Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch vs Pace Clock

Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch also leads on ratings volume (41K vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). Pace Clock's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Pace Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch has 41K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pace Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timer+ Countdown & Stopwatch ships an update every 10 days, Pace Clock every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
