# PT Timer vs Jen

The clearest difference is rating: Jen at 4.9 against PT Timer's 4.3. Jen also leads on ratings volume (478 vs 95). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PT Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Jen sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Jen holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3.
