# Timely vs Monthly

The clearest difference is update cadence: Monthly at every 4 days against Timely's fortnightly. Timely's advantage is iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timely sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Monthly sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timely ships an update fortnightly, Monthly every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
