Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MarketingProfs at none against Timewerks's 3. MarketingProfs also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). Timewerks's advantage is ratings volume (301 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MarketingProfs holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timewerks has 301 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of MarketingProfs's written reviews are positive against 79% of Timewerks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MarketingProfs ships an update every 4 months, Timewerks every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
