# Trace vs Timing

The clearest difference is rating: Timing at 5.0 against Trace's 4.3. Timing also leads on review sentiment (85% vs 77%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Trace's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (19 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trace sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Timing sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timing holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trace has 19 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of Trace's written reviews are positive against 85% of Timing's.

Trace ships an update every 2 days, Timing weekly. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
