# Taim vs Nova

The clearest difference is ads: Taim at none against Nova's shown. Nova's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Taim sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and Nova sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Taim ships an update monthly, Nova every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
