# Mare vs Timelie

The clearest difference is price: Timelie at Free against Mare's $4.99. Timelie also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (2.3K vs 4). Mare's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 72%). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Timelie is free to download; Mare costs $4.99 up front. Timelie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Mare asks for nothing beyond the download.

Timelie holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timelie has 2.3K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Mare's written reviews are positive against 72% of Timelie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mare ships an update every 6 weeks, Timelie every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
