# iHour vs 时间朋友

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.

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.

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.

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.
