# TimeTree vs Rack Builder Pro

The clearest difference is price: TimeTree at Free against Rack Builder Pro's $0.99. TimeTree also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (92K vs 27). Rack Builder Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 35) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence, chart position, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

TimeTree is free to download; Rack Builder Pro costs $0.99 up front. TimeTree sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Rack Builder Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

TimeTree holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeTree has 92K ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 81% of TimeTree's written reviews are positive against 69% of Rack Builder Pro's.

TimeTree ships an update weekly, Rack Builder Pro every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
