Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Timely Automation at 5.0 against Just Write's 4.3. Timely Automation also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Just Write's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.8K vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
