# Keep Time vs haptik

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Keep Time at 90% against haptik's 31%. Keep Time also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.8) and device support (4 vs 2). haptik's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (401 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Keep Time sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and haptik sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 3 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Keep Time holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: haptik has 401 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 90% of Keep Time's written reviews are positive against 31% of haptik's.

Keep Time ships an update every 4 months, haptik fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
