# TimeTree vs ClientNote

The clearest difference is update cadence: TimeTree at weekly against ClientNote's every 6 weeks. TimeTree also leads on ratings volume (93K vs 3) and chart position (#89 vs unranked). ClientNote's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeTree sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and ClientNote sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
