Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GX Timer at 100% against Multi's 64%. GX Timer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 8) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.0). Multi's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (695 vs 1). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Multi holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Multi has 695 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Multi's written reviews are positive against 100% of GX Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Multi ships an update every 2 weeks, GX Timer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
