# 25 minutes vs Tiny Timer

The clearest difference is ads: Tiny Timer at none against 25 minutes's shown. Tiny Timer also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 50%). 25 minutes's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (70 vs 22). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 25 minutes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Tiny Timer sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

25 minutes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 70 and 22 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of 25 minutes's written reviews are positive against 63% of Tiny Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

25 minutes ships an update every 6 weeks, Tiny Timer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
