Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pace Time at free with in-app purchases against Multi's subscription. Pace Time also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%). Multi's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Pace Time sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Multi sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Multi holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multi has 624 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pace Time's written reviews are positive against 64% of Multi's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pace Time ships an update every 4 months, Multi every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
