# BePresent vs Deen Time

The clearest difference is ads: Deen Time at none against BePresent's shown. Deen Time also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 68%). BePresent's advantage is ratings volume (67K vs 18) and chart position (#29 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BePresent sells 23 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Deen Time sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for BePresent against 4.9 for Deen Time. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BePresent has 67K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of BePresent's written reviews are positive against 100% of Deen Time's.

BePresent ships an update every 5 days, Deen Time weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
