# Voice Diary vs MultiTimer

The clearest difference is rating: MultiTimer at 4.7 against Voice Diary's 3.1. MultiTimer also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 50%) and ratings volume (16K vs 40). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Voice Diary sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and MultiTimer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MultiTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MultiTimer has 16K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two.
