Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TIMS Assistant holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nutshell has 85 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Nutshell's written reviews are positive against 33% of TIMS Assistant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Nutshell ships an update every 3 weeks, TIMS Assistant monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
