Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Jungle Jim's at none against Fresh Thyme's shown. Jungle Jim's also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (25% vs 10%). Fresh Thyme's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 20). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fresh Thyme holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fresh Thyme has 1.7K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Fresh Thyme's written reviews are positive against 25% of Jungle Jim's's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fresh Thyme ships an update every 3 months, Jungle Jim's every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
