# Repeat Timer vs Random Timer Generator

The clearest difference is rating: Repeat Timer at 4.5 against Random Timer Generator's 3.8. Repeat Timer also leads on ratings volume (7.4K vs 56) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Random Timer Generator's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 64%) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, 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 Random Timer Generator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Repeat Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Repeat Timer has 7.4K ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Repeat Timer's written reviews are positive against 83% of Random Timer Generator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Repeat Timer ships an update monthly, Random Timer Generator every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
