# Timekettle vs Contact

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 (467 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.

Contact holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timekettle has 467 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.

Timekettle ships an update every 3 weeks, Contact every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
