# Timy vs Stopwatch ٞ

The clearest difference is rating: Stopwatch ٞ at 4.5 against Timy's 3.6. Stopwatch ٞ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 19). Timy's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 months). On price, review sentiment and device support 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.
