# Actions vs TimeMender

The clearest difference is monetization model: TimeMender at free with in-app purchases against Actions's subscription. TimeMender also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Actions's advantage is ratings volume (9.8K vs 1) and device support (5 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Actions sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and TimeMender sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeMender holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Actions has 9.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
