# Limit vs Timeout

The clearest difference is ads: Limit at none against Timeout's shown. Limit also leads on ratings volume (245 vs 2) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Timeout's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Timeout holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Limit has 245 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Limit's written reviews are positive against 100% of Timeout's.
