# MarkTimes vs iCare

The clearest difference is ads: MarkTimes at none against iCare's shown. MarkTimes also leads on update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and ratings volume (54 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MarkTimes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and iCare sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. 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 MarkTimes against 5.0 for iCare. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MarkTimes has 54 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

MarkTimes ships an update weekly, iCare monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
