# MultiTimer vs Stoplight Golight

The clearest difference is rating: MultiTimer at 4.7 against Stoplight Golight's 3.6. MultiTimer also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (16K vs 9). Stoplight Golight's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

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

MultiTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MultiTimer has 16K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of MultiTimer's written reviews are positive against 83% of Stoplight Golight'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, Stoplight Golight every 21 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
