# Timepage vs Finalist

Timepage and Finalist both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 77% of Finalist's written reviews are positive against 54% of Timepage's. Timepage's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 548) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timepage sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Finalist sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Timepage against 4.7 for Finalist. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timepage has 15K ratings behind it against 548, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 54% of Timepage's written reviews are positive against 77% of Finalist's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
