A quick and easy time-lapse calculator with three modes. The default mode allows you to determine the shutter interval (time between shots) that is required to achieve a desired video clip length for a given recording duration. The Time-lapse Calculator can also be set to calculate the necessary event duration (recording time) or target duration (video clip length) based on the other variables. Most time-lapse utilities only allow you to enter the recording duration and shutter interval. Then they calculate the duration of the video clip that would result. That is rarely useful. If you know how long you would like the final clip to be, your video frame rate, and how long you plan to continue capturing exposures to cover the event, then it is the shutter interval variable that you need to calculate. If you know what shutter interval you would like use and how long your video clip needs to be, it is the recording time that you need to calculate. In addition to the intervalometer functions, the Time-lapse Calculator estimates the memory card storage capacity that will be required for RAW or high-quality JPG image files, based on the megapixel count of your camera. Features: • Calculate shutter interval, event duration (recording time), or target duration (video clip length) • All standard NTSC, PAL, and film frame rates (FPS): 15, 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 48, 50, 59.94, 60, or 120 • Memory card data estimator • Home screen quick actions using 3D Touch: Shutter Interval, Event Duration, or Target Duration mode • Copy to Clipboard with one touch (inputs and results) • Maximum event duration (recording time): 999 days • Clean, intuitive interface is easy to use while offering features for professional photographers and videographers • Universal app for iPhone and iPad • Responsive layout optimized for all device sizes and models, from iPhone SE through iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X, and iPad mini up to iPad Pro

Time Lapse Clip. An effective and easy-to-use time-lapse app. Create stunning time-lapse videos with ease. Perfect for casual users, featuring a simple control panel. Features: • Outputs the highest video quality supported by your device • Adjustable frame rate: 2 to 20 frames per second • Records sound as well • Video quality options: 4K (best for viewing), Full HD 1080p, or HD 720p • Easy Start/Stop recording • Dim screen during recording to save battery • Option to embed date and time in the video (time-stamped video) • Supports dual-lens and triple-lens devices • Pinch to zoom, pinch out for ultra-wide-angle lens • Calculates estimated file size and video duration to help with planning • Saves recordings directly to the camera roll • Supports both landscape and portrait modes • Small app size • Simple UI and easy to use How it works: Unlike classic time-lapse apps that take still photos at intervals (every few seconds or minutes), Time Lapse Clip records video at a preset frame rate and converts it into a 30fps clip. The result is a smooth time-lapse video. Examples: • Record at 15fps for 1 minute → results in a 30-second time-lapse • Record at 10fps for 1 minute → results in a 20-second time-lapse Benefits: Recording long videos can quickly fill up storage and cause recordings to stop. This method saves both space and time compared to capturing long videos and speeding them up later. Usage ideas: - Record your road trips - Capture party moments - Film flowers blooming - Record beautiful landscapes - Record drives as proof in case of accidents Tips: • Dim the screen during recording to save battery • Pinch out to use the ultra-wide lens and capture more of the surroundings Best for capturing changes over 1–2 hours, e.g. flower blooming, sunset, sunrise, insect activity, etc. Thanks for your support!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Time at Free against Time Lapse Clip's $3.99. Time also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 38 months) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). Time Lapse Clip's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
