# Photo Timer+ vs CLOS

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Photo Timer+ at 93% against CLOS's 53%. Photo Timer+ also leads on ratings volume (8.5K vs 126) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). CLOS's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Timer+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and CLOS sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Photo Timer+ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Timer+ has 8.5K ratings behind it against 126, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of Photo Timer+'s written reviews are positive against 53% of CLOS's.

Photo Timer+ ships an update every 5 months, CLOS monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
