# Time Gap vs Beauty

The clearest difference is update cadence: Time Gap at every 2 months against Beauty's every 14 months. Beauty's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (14K vs 1.2K). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Gap sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Beauty sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Beauty holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Beauty has 14K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Time Gap's written reviews are positive against 85% of Beauty's.

Time Gap ships an update every 2 months, Beauty every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
