# Almost Time vs Remainders

The clearest difference is rating: Remainders at 4.7 against Almost Time's 3.8. Remainders also leads on ratings volume (169 vs 4). Almost Time's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Almost Time sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Remainders sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Remainders holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remainders has 169 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Almost Time's written reviews are positive against 75% of Remainders's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 7, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
