# Days vs timer.

The clearest difference is rating: Days at 4.8 against timer.'s 4.3. Days also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 170). timer.'s advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Days sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and timer. sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Days holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Days has 12K ratings behind it against 170, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Days's written reviews are positive against 63% of timer.'s.

Days ships an update every 5 days, timer. every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
