# Time Gap vs Alice

The clearest difference is rating: Alice at 4.6 against Time Gap's 4.3. Alice also leads on ratings volume (8.5K vs 1.2K) and review sentiment (88% vs 78%). Time Gap's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Alice holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alice has 8.5K 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 88% of Alice's.

Time Gap ships an update every 2 months, Alice every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
