# Multi vs Stopwatch

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Multi at 64% against Stopwatch's 0%. Multi also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Stopwatch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Multi sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Stopwatch asks for nothing beyond the download.

Multi holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multi has 691 ratings behind it against 29, 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 0% of Stopwatch's.
