Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Coado at 100% against Brew Timer's 40%. Coado also leads on ads (none vs shown). Brew Timer's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (25 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Brew Timer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Coado sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Brew Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brew Timer has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Brew Timer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Coado's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Brew Timer ships an update every 6 days, Coado every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
