# MilliLife vs Visual Timer

MilliLife and Visual Timer both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of MilliLife's written reviews are positive against 33% of Visual Timer's. Visual Timer's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MilliLife sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Visual Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for MilliLife against 4.5 for Visual Timer. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Visual Timer has 129 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 100% of MilliLife's written reviews are positive against 33% of Visual Timer's.

MilliLife ships an update every 3 months, Visual Timer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
