# Time Left vs Lifetime

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.

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.
