Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Timer ٞ at none against Repeat Timer's 4. Timer ٞ also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (16.1 vs 18.0). Repeat Timer's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 16 months) and review sentiment (45% vs 36%). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Repeat Timer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Timer ٞ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Timer ٞ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 535 and 1.2K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Repeat Timer's written reviews are positive against 36% of Timer ٞ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Repeat Timer ships an update monthly, Timer ٞ every 16 months. Both last shipped on September 21, 2026.
