# LimeTime vs CalmTask

The clearest difference is monetization model: LimeTime at free against CalmTask's freemium. LimeTime also leads on ratings volume (10 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LimeTime sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and CalmTask sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LimeTime ships an update weekly, CalmTask fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
