# sakun vs PerfectWOD Timer

The clearest difference is rating: PerfectWOD Timer at 5.0 against sakun's 4.5. PerfectWOD Timer also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). sakun's advantage is ratings volume (137 vs 5) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. sakun sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and PerfectWOD Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PerfectWOD Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: sakun has 137 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
