# TimeBloc vs Reframe

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reframe at 100% against TimeBloc's 42%. Reframe also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly). TimeBloc's advantage is ratings volume (7.4K vs 3). 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 Reframe sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reframe 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 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of TimeBloc's written reviews are positive against 100% of Reframe's.

TimeBloc ships an update monthly, Reframe every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
