# PT Timer vs SPLIT

The clearest difference is rating: SPLIT at 5.0 against PT Timer's 4.3. PT Timer's advantage is ratings volume (95 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PT Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and SPLIT sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SPLIT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PT Timer has 95 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PT Timer ships an update every 5 weeks, SPLIT every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
