Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hotlink at 3.8 against Time Internet's 2.0. Hotlink also leads on ratings volume (216 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Time Internet's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, update cadence 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hotlink holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hotlink has 216 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 18% of Hotlink's written reviews are positive against 14% of Time Internet's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
