# TimeGuessr vs Trivora

The clearest difference is rating: TimeGuessr at 4.9 against Trivora's 3.2. TimeGuessr also leads on ratings volume (2.7K vs 9) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Trivora's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeGuessr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Trivora sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeGuessr holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeGuessr has 2.7K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of TimeGuessr's written reviews are positive against 73% of Trivora's.
