# Timer! vs Multi Timer

The clearest difference is update cadence: Multi Timer at fortnightly against Timer!'s every 13 months. Multi Timer also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Timer!'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and review sentiment (62% vs 45%). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

Timer! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer! has 448 ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Timer!'s written reviews are positive against 45% of Multi Timer's.

Timer! ships an update every 13 months, Multi Timer fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 7, 2026.
