# Days vs Better Timer

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Better Timer at none against Days's 19. Better Timer also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Days's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Days sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Better Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Better Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Days has 12K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 74% of Days's written reviews are positive against 100% of Better Timer's.

Days ships an update every 5 days, Better Timer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
