# PinkCloud Timer vs Sobo

The clearest difference is ads: PinkCloud Timer at none against Sobo's shown. Sobo's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 4). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PinkCloud Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Sobo sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for PinkCloud Timer against 4.8 for Sobo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sobo has 1.5K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PinkCloud Timer ships an update every 10 days, Sobo every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
