# Moment vs Tomato Timer ۬

The clearest difference is rating: Tomato Timer ۬ at 4.7 against Moment's 3.7. Tomato Timer ۬ also leads on ratings volume (188 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Moment's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moment sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Tomato Timer ۬ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tomato Timer ۬ holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tomato Timer ۬ has 188 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Moment's written reviews are positive against 80% of Tomato Timer ۬'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Moment ships an update every 4 days, Tomato Timer ۬ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 23, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
