Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Time Notes at none against Wallpapers's shown. Time Notes also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks) and device support (5 vs 2). Wallpapers's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (93% vs 75%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Wallpapers sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Time Notes sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Wallpapers holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wallpapers has 120 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 93% of Wallpapers's written reviews are positive against 75% of Time Notes's.
Wallpapers ships an update every 4 weeks, Time Notes weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
