# MAX vs Timecare

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MAX at none against Timecare's 1. MAX also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Timecare's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timecare sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month. MAX asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for MAX against 5.0 for Timecare. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timecare has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MAX ships an update every 15 months, Timecare every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
