# Timero vs Clerk App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Clerk App at 100% against Timero's 60%. Clerk App also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Timero's advantage is ratings volume (527 vs 20). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timero sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Clerk App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timero has 527 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Timero's written reviews are positive against 100% of Clerk App's.
