# Contraction Timer ＆ Tracker vs Bomee

The clearest difference is rating: Bomee at 4.9 against Contraction Timer ＆ Tracker's 4.6. Bomee also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Contraction Timer ＆ Tracker's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 52%) and ratings volume (50K vs 4.8K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Contraction Timer ＆ Tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Bomee sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bomee holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Contraction Timer ＆ Tracker has 50K ratings behind it against 4.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Contraction Timer ＆ Tracker's written reviews are positive against 52% of Bomee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Contraction Timer ＆ Tracker ships an update fortnightly, Bomee every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
