# TimeLine vs JotDay

The clearest difference is rating: TimeLine at 5.0 against JotDay's 4.7. TimeLine also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 86%). JotDay's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeLine sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and JotDay sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeLine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JotDay has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of TimeLine's written reviews are positive against 86% of JotDay's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
