TimeCalc is a powerful yet simple time calculator for everyday use — add and subtract hours, track work durations, calculate future dates, and find exact age in seconds. TIME CALCULATOR Add, subtract multiple time values in sequence. Instant results, calculation history saved. Examples: 2h 35m + 3h 45m = 6h 20m 12h 20m − 4.5h = 7h 50m 4h 52m × 3 = 14h 36m 1h ÷ 20m = 3 Convert between time units: 456m = 7h 36m = 7.6h TIME BETWEEN (DURATION) Enter any start and end time to calculate the exact duration. Organize into separate categories. Export PDF reports (Premium). Examples: 11:20 AM → 12:40 PM = 1h 20m 01:30 AM → 02:30 PM = 13h Today 02:00 → Tomorrow 02:30 = 24h 30m DATE CALCULATOR (ADD & SUBTRACT) From any starting date, add or subtract years/months/weeks/days/hours/minutes to get the resulting date.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: TimeCalc at 4.5 against Timely's 2.0. TimeCalc also leads on ratings volume (91 vs 3). Timely's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeCalc sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Timely asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TimeCalc holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeCalc has 91 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Timely's written reviews are positive against 79% of TimeCalc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timely ships an update monthly, TimeCalc every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
