Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MultiTimer at 4.7 against Perxcept's 3.7. MultiTimer also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). Perxcept's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MultiTimer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MultiTimer has 16K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of MultiTimer's written reviews are positive against 100% of Perxcept's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MultiTimer ships an update every 2 weeks, Perxcept every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
