Ready Time's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Days Matter Air sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Ready Time sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
