Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: My TimeBook at 4.5 against Switch's 3.9. My TimeBook also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (323 vs 22). Switch's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
