# War of Eclipse vs Star Trek Timelines

The clearest difference is price: Star Trek Timelines at Free against War of Eclipse's $0.99. Star Trek Timelines also leads on ratings volume (7.5K vs 73) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 8 months). War of Eclipse's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (84% vs 59%). On rating, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Star Trek Timelines is free to download; War of Eclipse costs $0.99 up front. War of Eclipse sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Star Trek Timelines sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Star Trek Timelines holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Star Trek Timelines has 7.5K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of War of Eclipse's written reviews are positive against 59% of Star Trek Timelines's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

War of Eclipse ships an update every 8 months, Star Trek Timelines every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
