Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TimeBloc at 4.3 against Raise The Bar's 2.8. TimeBloc also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (7.4K vs 12). Raise The Bar's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 41%) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Raise The Bar sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year and TimeBloc sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TimeBloc holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeBloc has 7.4K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Raise The Bar's written reviews are positive against 41% of TimeBloc's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Raise The Bar ships an update every 3 weeks, TimeBloc every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
