Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Webscorer Race Timer at none against RunRaceTrace's 2. Webscorer Race Timer also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (136 vs 6). RunRaceTrace's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Webscorer Race Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Webscorer Race Timer has 136 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Webscorer Race Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of RunRaceTrace's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Webscorer Race Timer ships an update every 2 months, RunRaceTrace every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
