# TimerCam vs Photo Timer+

TimerCam and Photo Timer+ both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of Photo Timer+'s written reviews are positive against 62% of TimerCam's. Photo Timer+ also leads on ratings volume (8.4K vs 85) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). TimerCam's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimerCam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Photo Timer+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for TimerCam against 4.7 for Photo Timer+. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Timer+ has 8.4K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 62% of TimerCam's written reviews are positive against 93% of Photo Timer+'s.

TimerCam ships an update every 3 weeks, Photo Timer+ every 5 months. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
