# Time Control! vs Control Them

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Control Them at 100% against Time Control!'s 22%. Time Control!'s advantage is rating (3.8 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (406 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Time Control! holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Control! has 406 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Time Control!'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Control Them's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
