Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Timekept at 4.5 against Turnsy's 4.0. Timekept also leads on ratings volume (17 vs 1). Turnsy's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and price ($0.49 vs $2.99). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Timekept holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timekept has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 96% of Timekept's written reviews are positive against 100% of Turnsy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timekept ships an update every 2 months, Turnsy every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
