Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Contact at 3.6 against Timekettle's 2.9. Contact also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). Timekettle's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%) and ratings volume (497 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timekettle sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Contact sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Contact holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timekettle has 497 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Timekettle's written reviews are positive against 0% of Contact's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timekettle ships an update every 3 weeks, Contact every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
