# ZoneTime vs Nightstand

The clearest difference is rating: ZoneTime at 5.0 against Nightstand's 4.5. ZoneTime also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Nightstand's advantage is ratings volume (125 vs 1) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Nightstand sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. ZoneTime asks for nothing beyond the download.

ZoneTime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nightstand has 125 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of ZoneTime's written reviews are positive against 70% of Nightstand's.

ZoneTime ships an update every 3 months, Nightstand every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
