Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Time at Free against DateGlance's $0.99. Time also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.3). DateGlance's advantage is ratings volume (23 vs 3). On review sentiment, 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
Time is free to download; DateGlance costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Time holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DateGlance has 23 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of DateGlance's written reviews are positive against 67% of Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DateGlance ships an update every 5 weeks, Time every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
