Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Timemator at 4.7 against Rocket Typist's 4.1. Timemator also leads on ratings volume (172 vs 24) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Rocket Typist's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (73% vs 63%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Timemator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timemator has 172 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Timemator's written reviews are positive against 73% of Rocket Typist's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timemator ships an update every 2 months, Rocket Typist fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
