# Dale vs TimeLeft

The clearest difference is rating: TimeLeft at 5.0 against Dale's 4.2. Dale's advantage is ratings volume (14 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dale sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TimeLeft sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeLeft holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dale has 14 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
