# TimeBloc vs Relaxative

The clearest difference is rating: Relaxative at 5.0 against TimeBloc's 4.3. Relaxative also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). TimeBloc's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (7.4K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeBloc sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Relaxative sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Relaxative holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeBloc has 7.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TimeBloc ships an update monthly, Relaxative every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
