# Timelie vs Pine Hearts

The clearest difference is update cadence: Pine Hearts at every 5 days against Timelie's every 3 months. Timelie's advantage is ratings volume (2.2K vs 89) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timelie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Pine Hearts sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timelie holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timelie has 2.2K ratings behind it against 89, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 72% and 72% positive.

Timelie ships an update every 3 months, Pine Hearts every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
