# Timelines Time Tracking vs Daybox

The clearest difference is ads: Timelines Time Tracking at none against Daybox's shown. Timelines Time Tracking also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 3). Daybox's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timelines Time Tracking sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Daybox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Daybox holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timelines Time Tracking has 1.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Timelines Time Tracking ships an update monthly, Daybox every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
