# iCountTimer Pro vs Round

The clearest difference is price: Round at Free against iCountTimer Pro's $19.99. Round also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). iCountTimer Pro's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.2). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Round is free to download; iCountTimer Pro costs $19.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.1 for iCountTimer Pro against 4.0 for Round. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCountTimer Pro has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iCountTimer Pro ships an update every 2 months, Round weekly. Both last shipped on October 10, 2026.
