# TimeStory vs Timeline Presenter

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TimeStory at 100% against Timeline Presenter's 33%. Timeline Presenter's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (45 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeStory sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year and Timeline Presenter sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timeline Presenter holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timeline Presenter has 45 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of TimeStory's written reviews are positive against 33% of Timeline Presenter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TimeStory ships an update every 6 weeks, Timeline Presenter monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
