# Ready Time vs Ontime

The clearest difference is monetization model: Ready Time at free with in-app purchases against Ontime's subscription. Ready Time also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 1). Ontime's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ready Time sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and Ontime sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Ontime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ready Time has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Ready Time ships an update every 3 weeks, Ontime weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
