Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Meteor at 4.5 against Time Left's 4.0. Meteor also leads on ratings volume (147 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Time Left's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meteor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Time Left asks for nothing beyond the download.
Meteor holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Meteor has 147 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Meteor's written reviews are positive against 100% of Time Left's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Meteor ships an update weekly, Time Left every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
