ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iTimekeep holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTimekeep has 169 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Tick (Time & Budget Tracking)'s written reviews are positive against 37% of iTimekeep's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tick (Time & Budget Tracking) ships an update every 11 months, iTimekeep every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
