# Multi vs MultiTimer

The clearest difference is monetization model: MultiTimer at free with in-app purchases against Multi's subscription. MultiTimer also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (82% vs 64%). Multi's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Multi sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and MultiTimer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MultiTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multi has 624 ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Multi's written reviews are positive against 82% of MultiTimer's.

Multi ships an update every 2 weeks, MultiTimer every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 23, 2026.
