# Timy vs Timer

The clearest difference is rating: Timer at 4.4 against Timy's 3.6. Timer also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 63%) and ratings volume (81 vs 19). Timy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Timer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19 and 81 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Timy's written reviews are positive against 75% of Timer's.
