# Slender Threads vs Timelie

The clearest difference is update cadence: Slender Threads at every 3 weeks against Timelie's every 3 months. Slender Threads also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 72%). Timelie's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 442) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Slender Threads sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Timelie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
