# Watch Faces Lab vs Timeora

The clearest difference is monetization model: Watch Faces Lab at free with in-app purchases against Timeora's subscription. Watch Faces Lab also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 18%). Timeora's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Watch Faces Lab sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Timeora sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timeora holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timeora has 3.4K ratings behind it against 346, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Watch Faces Lab's written reviews are positive against 18% of Timeora's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Watch Faces Lab ships an update every 4 days, Timeora every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
