No notifications. No ads. No sign-up. Just you and your time. TIME LEFT DESCRIPTION Sometimes life seems really short, and other times impossibly long. This app will help you to emphasize that it’s most certainly finite. Time Left shows you, the days, months, and years you have left and that they are all you have got. Don’t be afraid, that means the only appropriate word to describe your time left is “precious”. So I hope this app will enable you to create a life in which you will be happy and creative. WHAT ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY? I think Privacy is a fundamental human right. To that end, I have designed Time Left from the ground up without any external framework. In this way, your data, like your birthdate, stays entirely private. HOW CAN YOU HELP ME? As I don’t collect any data on this app, to improve it I need your help! You can send me an email to julien@lacroix.dev for any feedback, issues, or bugs on this app or just to say “Hello!”. I answer every email! ********** A special thank you to Wait But Why for this amazing article (https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html).

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Time Left at 73% against Lifetime's 25%. Time Left also leads on ratings volume (237 vs 5). Lifetime's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, 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. Time Left sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Lifetime sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Lifetime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Left has 237 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Time Left's written reviews are positive against 25% of Lifetime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Time Left ships an update every 6 days, Lifetime every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
