Both are free to download. Timekettle sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and WATransChat sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WATransChat holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timekettle has 467 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 25% of Timekettle's written reviews are positive against 67% of WATransChat's.
Timekettle ships an update every 3 weeks, WATransChat every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
