Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pace Clock at 100% against Repeat Timer's 64%. Pace Clock also leads on device support (5 vs 2). Repeat Timer's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (7.4K vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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 Pace Clock 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 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Repeat Timer has 7.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Repeat Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Pace Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Repeat Timer ships an update monthly, Pace Clock every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
