# 番茄ToDo vs 时间朋友

The clearest difference is rating: 番茄ToDo at 4.9 against 时间朋友's 4.5. 番茄ToDo also leads on ratings volume (4.8K vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). 时间朋友's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 89%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.3). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 番茄ToDo sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and 时间朋友 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

番茄ToDo holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 番茄ToDo has 4.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 89% of 番茄ToDo's written reviews are positive against 100% of 时间朋友's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

番茄ToDo ships an update every 2 weeks, 时间朋友 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
