Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ploposaurus at 5.0 against Time Machine's 4.5. Ploposaurus also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). Time Machine's advantage is ratings volume (4.5K vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Machine sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Ploposaurus sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Ploposaurus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Machine has 4.5K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Time Machine ships an update every 5 months, Ploposaurus every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
