# TimeBlocks vs TimeMender

The clearest difference is rating: TimeMender at 5.0 against TimeBlocks's 3.1. TimeMender also leads on ads (none vs shown). TimeBlocks's advantage is ratings volume (162 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeBlocks sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and TimeMender sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeMender holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeBlocks has 162 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
