The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ArcLoop at none against Time Left Today's 1. ArcLoop also leads on ratings volume (11 vs 2) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 17.0). Time Left Today's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Left Today sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. ArcLoop asks for nothing beyond the download.
