# Timer.Coffee vs BeanBook

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Timer.Coffee at 133 against BeanBook's 2. Timer.Coffee also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timer.Coffee sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and BeanBook sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Timer.Coffee against 5.0 for BeanBook. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer.Coffee has 133 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Timer.Coffee ships an update every 10 days, BeanBook every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
