Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: RtspDeck at 100% against TimecodeCalc's 50%. RtspDeck also leads on price (Free vs $1.99) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 7 months). TimecodeCalc's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (19 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
RtspDeck is free to download; TimecodeCalc costs $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TimecodeCalc holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimecodeCalc has 19 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of TimecodeCalc's written reviews are positive against 100% of RtspDeck's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
TimecodeCalc ships an update every 7 months, RtspDeck every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 6, 2026.
