# Text Case vs TimeWave

The clearest difference is update cadence: TimeWave at every 3 weeks against Text Case's every 2 months. TimeWave also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Text Case's advantage is ratings volume (146 vs 25) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text Case sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and TimeWave sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Text Case against 4.6 for TimeWave. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text Case has 146 ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of Text Case's written reviews are positive against 86% of TimeWave's.

Text Case ships an update every 2 months, TimeWave every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
