Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MyBell at 4.5 against Pay Box Timer's 1.7. MyBell also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 6). Pay Box Timer's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 18%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyBell holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyBell has 6.4K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of MyBell's written reviews are positive against 33% of Pay Box Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MyBell ships an update weekly, Pay Box Timer every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
