# Carrot. vs TimeCap

The clearest difference is rating: Carrot. at 4.8 against TimeCap's 3.6. Carrot. also leads on review sentiment (95% vs 64%) and ratings volume (334 vs 13). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Carrot. sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and TimeCap sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Carrot. holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Carrot. has 334 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 95% of Carrot.'s written reviews are positive against 64% of TimeCap's.

Carrot. ships an update fortnightly, TimeCap every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
