# Timable vs Toby

The clearest difference is rating: Toby at 4.3 against Timable's 3.5. Toby also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (75 vs 2). Timable's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and review sentiment (71% vs 48%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Toby sells 7 one-off in-app purchases. Timable asks for nothing beyond the download.

Toby holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Toby has 75 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Timable's written reviews are positive against 48% of Toby's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timable ships an update every 2 months, Toby every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
