# Martin vs TimeLeft

The clearest difference is rating: TimeLeft at 5.0 against Martin's 4.2. Martin's advantage is ratings volume (251 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Martin sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $35.00 per month and TimeLeft sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeLeft holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Martin has 251 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
