# Timepage vs Float

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Float at 95% against Timepage's 54%. Float also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs freemium). Timepage's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (15K vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timepage sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Float sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Float holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timepage has 15K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of Timepage's written reviews are positive against 95% of Float's.

Timepage ships an update weekly, Float every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
