# Sandflow vs Visual Multi Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Visual Multi Timer at 4.7 against Sandflow's 3.5. Visual Multi Timer also leads on ratings volume (142 vs 10) and review sentiment (83% vs 71%). Sandflow's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sandflow sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Visual Multi Timer sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Visual Multi Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual Multi Timer has 142 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Sandflow's written reviews are positive against 83% of Visual Multi Timer's.

Sandflow ships an update every 9 days, Visual Multi Timer monthly. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
