Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Time at 4.8 against Timely's 2.5. Time also leads on ratings volume (362 vs 2). Timely's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support 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. Time sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Timely asks for nothing beyond the download.
Time holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time has 362 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Time's written reviews are positive against 100% of Timely's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Time ships an update every 2 months, Timely monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
