# Multi vs MultiTimer

The clearest difference is monetization model: MultiTimer at free with in-app purchases against Multi's subscription. MultiTimer also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 624) and review sentiment (79% vs 64%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MultiTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MultiTimer has 16K ratings behind it against 624, 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 79% of MultiTimer's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
