# Timeline vs Next Time

The clearest difference is update cadence: Timeline at every 4 days against Next Time's every 2 weeks. Timeline also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timeline sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month and Next Time sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timeline ships an update every 4 days, Next Time every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
