Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Pinning at 4.7 against Timescape's 3.8. Pinning also leads on ratings volume (51 vs 5) and device support (5 vs 1). Timescape's advantage is iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pinning sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Timescape sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Pinning holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pinning has 51 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 75% and 75% positive.
Pinning ships an update every 4 weeks, Timescape fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
