# Time Notes vs 回本了么

The clearest difference is rating: Time Notes at 4.2 against 回本了么's 3.0. Time Notes also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). 回本了么's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 75%). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Notes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and 回本了么 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Time Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Notes has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Time Notes's written reviews are positive against 86% of 回本了么's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Time Notes ships an update weekly, 回本了么 every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
