# Single Origin vs Time & Pour

The clearest difference is price: Time & Pour at Free against Single Origin's $0.99. Time & Pour also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly). Single Origin's advantage is ratings volume (99 vs 1) and chart position (#138 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Time & Pour is free to download; Single Origin costs $0.99 up front. Single Origin sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Time & Pour sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Time & Pour holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Single Origin has 99 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Single Origin ships an update weekly, Time & Pour every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
