# ChronoQueue vs Timeboxd

The clearest difference is ratings volume: ChronoQueue at 131 against Timeboxd's 2. ChronoQueue also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Timeboxd's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ChronoQueue sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Timeboxd sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for ChronoQueue against 5.0 for Timeboxd. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ChronoQueue has 131 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of ChronoQueue's written reviews are positive against 100% of Timeboxd's.

ChronoQueue ships an update weekly, Timeboxd every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 23, 2026 respectively.
