# Days vs TimeCount

The clearest difference is rating: Days at 4.8 against TimeCount's 4.6. TimeCount's advantage is chart position (#205 vs unranked). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Days sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and TimeCount sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Days holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 12K and 24K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Days's written reviews are positive against 79% of TimeCount's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Days ships an update every 5 days, TimeCount weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
