# Rewired vs AppTime

The clearest difference is rating: Rewired at 4.8 against AppTime's 3.3. Rewired also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 3) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). AppTime's advantage is review sentiment (80% vs 45%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Rewired sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and AppTime sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rewired holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rewired has 1.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Rewired's written reviews are positive against 80% of AppTime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Rewired ships an update every 9 days, AppTime every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
