# Repeat Timer vs 1Timer

The clearest difference is ads: Repeat Timer at none against 1Timer's shown. Repeat Timer also leads on ratings volume (7.4K vs 1.2K). 1Timer's advantage is review sentiment (81% vs 64%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Repeat Timer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and 1Timer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Repeat Timer has 7.4K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
