# Flow vs Timefall

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Flow at 1.8K against Timefall's 1. Flow also leads on device support (5 vs 2). Timefall's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flow sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Timefall sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timefall holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flow has 1.8K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of Flow's written reviews are positive against 100% of Timefall's.

Flow ships an update every 4 weeks, Timefall every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
