# TimeTree vs PlanPop

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PlanPop at none against TimeTree's 35. PlanPop also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs weekly). TimeTree's advantage is ratings volume (93K vs 995) and chart position (#78 vs unranked). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeTree sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. PlanPop asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for TimeTree against 4.8 for PlanPop. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeTree has 93K ratings behind it against 995, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of TimeTree's written reviews are positive against 89% of PlanPop's.

TimeTree ships an update weekly, PlanPop daily. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
