Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Repeat Timer at none against Multi Timer's shown. Repeat Timer also leads on ratings volume (7.4K vs 3) and review sentiment (64% vs 50%). Multi Timer's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Repeat Timer sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Multi Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Multi Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Repeat Timer has 7.4K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Repeat Timer's written reviews are positive against 50% of Multi 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, Multi Timer every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
