# Simple Repeat Timer vs i

The clearest difference is rating: i at 5.0 against Simple Repeat Timer's 3.7. i also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 9 months). Simple Repeat Timer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

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

i holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Simple Repeat Timer has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Simple Repeat Timer's written reviews are positive against 43% of i's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Simple Repeat Timer ships an update every 9 months, i every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and August 20, 2026 respectively.
