Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Outside at every 6 days against Eventime's every 5 weeks. Outside also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (2.8K vs 266). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Eventime sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Outside sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Outside holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outside has 2.8K ratings behind it against 266, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Eventime's written reviews are positive against 54% of Outside's.
Eventime ships an update every 5 weeks, Outside every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
