# TimeTill vs Next Big Day

The clearest difference is ads: Next Big Day at none against TimeTill's shown. Next Big Day also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium). TimeTill's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeTill sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Next Big Day sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for TimeTill against 5.0 for Next Big Day. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeTill has 12 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

TimeTill ships an update fortnightly, Next Big Day every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
