Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Trex AR at 3.9 against Touchtime's 2.4. Trex AR also leads on ratings volume (722 vs 44) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Touchtime's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Trex AR holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trex AR has 722 ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Trex AR's written reviews are positive against 25% of Touchtime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Trex AR ships an update every 4 months, Touchtime fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
