# Stopwatch° vs Stopwatch Pro

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stopwatch° at none against Stopwatch Pro's 1. Stopwatch° also leads on ratings volume (306 vs 17). Stopwatch Pro's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Stopwatch Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Stopwatch° asks for nothing beyond the download.

Stopwatch Pro holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stopwatch° has 306 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Stopwatch° ships an update every 2 weeks, Stopwatch Pro every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
