Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: sTimers at 88% against Stop & Note's 50%. sTimers also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Stop & Note's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 10 months vs every 23 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Stop & Note holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: sTimers has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Stop & Note's written reviews are positive against 88% of sTimers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stop & Note ships an update every 10 months, sTimers every 23 months. The most recent releases landed on August 6, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
