Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: YABA at 4.5 against Time Vis's 3.7. YABA also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 21 months) and ratings volume (18 vs 3). Time Vis's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

YABA holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YABA has 18 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Time Vis's written reviews are positive against 67% of YABA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Time Vis ships an update every 21 months, YABA every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
