# Study Timer vs Aesthetic Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Study Timer at 5.0 against Aesthetic Timer's 4.3. Study Timer also leads on ads (none vs shown). Aesthetic Timer's advantage is ratings volume (34 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Study Timer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Aesthetic Timer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Study Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aesthetic Timer has 34 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
