# Timy vs Stopwatch°

The clearest difference is rating: Stopwatch° at 4.8 against Timy's 3.6. Stopwatch° also leads on review sentiment (98% vs 63%) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). Timy's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

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

Stopwatch° holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stopwatch° has 320 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of Timy's written reviews are positive against 98% of Stopwatch°'s.

Timy ships an update every 4 days, Stopwatch° every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
