Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: iHour at 810 against 时间朋友's 2. iHour also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and device support (4 vs 2). 时间朋友's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. iHour sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and 时间朋友 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iHour holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iHour has 810 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of iHour's written reviews are positive against 100% of 时间朋友's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iHour ships an update monthly, 时间朋友 every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
