# MultiTimer vs KOT

The clearest difference is ads: MultiTimer at none against KOT's shown. MultiTimer also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 50%) and ratings volume (16K vs 12). KOT's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MultiTimer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and KOT sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for MultiTimer against 4.8 for KOT. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MultiTimer has 16K ratings behind it against 12, 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 KOT's.

MultiTimer ships an update every 2 weeks, KOT every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 9, 2026 respectively.
