# iMAGAZINE 現代誌庫 vs Time Machine

The clearest difference is rating: Time Machine at 4.5 against iMAGAZINE 現代誌庫's 1.0. Time Machine also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 38%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). iMAGAZINE 現代誌庫's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iMAGAZINE 現代誌庫 sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year and Time Machine sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Time Machine holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Machine has 10 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 38% of iMAGAZINE 現代誌庫's written reviews are positive against 67% of Time Machine's.

iMAGAZINE 現代誌庫 ships an update every 3 months, Time Machine fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and August 30, 2026 respectively.
