# WhereTimeGoes vs Normal

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WhereTimeGoes at none against Normal's 9. Normal's advantage is ratings volume (39 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 days). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Normal sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month. WhereTimeGoes asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for WhereTimeGoes against 4.9 for Normal. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Normal has 39 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
