# Fun Time Timer vs Basic Math

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fun Time Timer at none against Basic Math's 1. Fun Time Timer also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). Basic Math's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (347 vs 8). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Basic Math sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Fun Time Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Fun Time Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Basic Math has 347 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Fun Time Timer's written reviews are positive against 85% of Basic Math's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Fun Time Timer ships an update every 5 months, Basic Math monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
