Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Methods at fortnightly against Not Another Weekend's every 10 months. Methods also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 79%) and price ($2.99 vs $4.99). Not Another Weekend's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (53 vs 9). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support 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
Not Another Weekend costs $4.99 and Methods $2.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Not Another Weekend holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Not Another Weekend has 53 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Not Another Weekend's written reviews are positive against 100% of Methods's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Not Another Weekend ships an update every 10 months, Methods fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
