# MultiTimer vs DebateX

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DebateX at none against MultiTimer's 4. DebateX also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). MultiTimer's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 50%) and ratings volume (16K vs 8). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MultiTimer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. DebateX asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for MultiTimer against 4.8 for DebateX. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MultiTimer has 16K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of MultiTimer's written reviews are positive against 50% of DebateX's.
