# Pace Time vs Multi

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.

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.

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.

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.
