# Left vs Time Left

The clearest difference is rating: Left at 4.6 against Time Left's 4.0. Left also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (514 vs 1). Time Left's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Left sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Time Left asks for nothing beyond the download.

Left holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Left has 514 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Left's written reviews are positive against 100% of Time Left's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Left ships an update every 4 days, Time Left every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
