Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: TimeCount at none against Almost's shown. TimeCount also leads on ratings volume (24K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Almost's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
