# Time vs DebuffTimer

The clearest difference is device support: Time at 3 against DebuffTimer's 1. DebuffTimer's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.00 per month and DebuffTimer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
