# SuperX vs TimeGlow

The clearest difference is rating: TimeGlow at 5.0 against SuperX's 4.0. TimeGlow also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). SuperX's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SuperX sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TimeGlow sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeGlow holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SuperX has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

SuperX ships an update every 5 months, TimeGlow every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
