# Bluelane vs 3time

The clearest difference is update cadence: 3time at every 5 days against Bluelane's monthly. 3time also leads on iOS requirement (17.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bluelane sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and 3time sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bluelane ships an update monthly, 3time every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and May 15, 2026 respectively.
