# Easy vs TimeGuessr

The clearest difference is rating: TimeGuessr at 4.9 against Easy's 4.7. TimeGuessr also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Easy's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Easy sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TimeGuessr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TimeGuessr holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeGuessr has 2.5K ratings behind it against 267, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Easy's written reviews are positive against 80% of TimeGuessr's.

Easy ships an update fortnightly, TimeGuessr every 5 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
