# Time Manage vs aTimeLogger

The clearest difference is monetization model: Time Manage at ad-supported against aTimeLogger's subscription. Time Manage also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). aTimeLogger's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (86% vs 56%). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Manage sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and aTimeLogger sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Time Manage holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: aTimeLogger has 303 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Time Manage's written reviews are positive against 86% of aTimeLogger's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Time Manage ships an update every 4 days, aTimeLogger fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
