# timeLapse vs Olog Reader

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Olog Reader at 14 against timeLapse's 1. Olog Reader also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.0). timeLapse's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. timeLapse sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Olog Reader sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for timeLapse against 5.0 for Olog Reader. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Olog Reader has 14 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

timeLapse ships an update every 9 days, Olog Reader every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 6, 2026.
