Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Brush · Toothbrush Timer at 85% against Oral's 35%. Brush · Toothbrush Timer also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and chart position (#58 vs #177). Oral's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and ratings volume (200K vs 60). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Oral holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Oral has 200K ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Oral's written reviews are positive against 85% of Brush · Toothbrush Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Oral ships an update monthly, Brush · Toothbrush Timer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
