Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stemwise at none against TimePassages Astrology's 15. Stemwise also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks). TimePassages Astrology's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (44K vs 1). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimePassages Astrology sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Stemwise asks for nothing beyond the download.
Stemwise holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8.

TimePassages Astrology ships an update every 4 weeks, Stemwise every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
