Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: BB at 402 against Touch Time's 10. BB also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Touch Time's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. BB sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Touch Time sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for BB against 5.0 for Touch Time. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BB has 402 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 90% of BB's written reviews are positive against 100% of Touch Time's.
BB ships an update every 3 weeks, Touch Time every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
