# Performance Timer vs Big Red Clock

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Performance Timer at none against Big Red Clock's 2. Performance Timer also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 18.6). Big Red Clock's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Big Red Clock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Performance Timer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Big Red Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 59 and 168 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Performance Timer's written reviews are positive against 77% of Big Red Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
