The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eden's Almanac at 70% against Time Merits's 0%. Eden's Almanac also leads on ratings volume (14 vs 1). Time Merits's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Time Merits holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Eden's Almanac has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Time Merits's written reviews are positive against 70% of Eden's Almanac's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Time Merits ships an update monthly, Eden's Almanac fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
