# Circuit Lap Timer vs SEN Radio

The clearest difference is price: SEN Radio at Free against Circuit Lap Timer's $4.99. SEN Radio also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (132 vs 2). Circuit Lap Timer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

SEN Radio is free to download; Circuit Lap Timer costs $4.99 up front. SEN Radio sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Circuit Lap Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.

SEN Radio holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SEN Radio has 132 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Circuit Lap Timer's written reviews are positive against 52% of SEN Radio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Circuit Lap Timer ships an update monthly, SEN Radio every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
