# Photo Timer+ vs Skyflow

The clearest difference is ads: Skyflow at none against Photo Timer+'s shown. Skyflow also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). Photo Timer+'s advantage is review sentiment (93% vs 72%) and ratings volume (8.4K vs 590). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Timer+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Skyflow sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Photo Timer+ against 4.6 for Skyflow. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Timer+ has 8.4K ratings behind it against 590, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 93% of Photo Timer+'s written reviews are positive against 72% of Skyflow's.

Photo Timer+ ships an update every 5 months, Skyflow every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
