# MultiTimer vs Timekept

The clearest difference is price: MultiTimer at Free against Timekept's $2.99. MultiTimer also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (16K vs 17). Timekept's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (96% vs 79%). On ads there is nothing between them.

MultiTimer is free to download; Timekept costs $2.99 up front. MultiTimer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Timekept asks for nothing beyond the download.

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 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of MultiTimer's written reviews are positive against 96% of Timekept's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MultiTimer ships an update every 2 weeks, Timekept every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
