Cook eggs exactly the way you like them - soft, jammy, medium, or hard-boiled. Egg Timer calculates the right cooking time using egg size, starting temperature, altitude, stove type, and water volume. Cooking for people who want different results? Add different eggs to the same pot. The app tells you exactly when each egg should come out, so everyone gets their preferred doneness. WHAT EGG TIMER CAN DO: - Quick presets for soft, medium, and hard-boiled eggs - Precise manual control for doneness, size, and temperature - Calculate by egg weight or width - Automatic or manual altitude adjustment - Adjust for stove type and water volume - Reliable timers, advance alerts, sound, and vibration - Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island - Light and dark appearance - Metric and imperial units PREMIUM: The timer for one egg is free to use. A one-time Premium purchase unlocks multiple eggs with different timings and reusable presets. No subscription. Start with boiling water, choose the doneness, egg size, and starting temperature - Egg Timer handles the rest.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Mensa at none against EggTimer's 1. Mensa also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
