# Visual Multi Timer vs ASCII Charts

The clearest difference is price: Visual Multi Timer at Free against ASCII Charts's $1.99. Visual Multi Timer also leads on ratings volume (142 vs 18) and device support (4 vs 2). ASCII Charts's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.7). On review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Visual Multi Timer is free to download; ASCII Charts costs $1.99 up front. Visual Multi Timer sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and ASCII Charts sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ASCII Charts holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual Multi Timer has 142 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 83% of Visual Multi Timer's written reviews are positive against 91% of ASCII Charts's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
