# Timy vs Timer ٞ

The clearest difference is rating: Timer ٞ at 4.4 against Timy's 3.6. Timer ٞ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 19). Timy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 16 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Timer ٞ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Timer ٞ holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timer ٞ has 1.2K ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Timy's written reviews are positive against 36% of Timer ٞ's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timy ships an update every 4 days, Timer ٞ every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on August 3, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
