How we grade them
| 2.4GPADayBoostFair | 1.8GPATimeTuneWeak | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThe lowest in-app price is $5.99, the middle of daily planners, but the Google Play listing gives no billing period. | CFree to install, and the premium licence is an in-app purchase that Google Play describes only as $2.99 to $49.99 per item, with no word on what each one covers or how it's billed. There's no figure here to set against what the category charges. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe timeline, Inbox, tasks and reminders are free, which a person could live on. | CFree to download from Google Play and you can plan with it, but neither the listing nor the help site says which features the premium licence holds back, so you find the walls by walking into them. |
| Features | COne timeline, time blocks, reminders and focus blocks do the basics, but repeating tasks and the week view are Pro. | CBlocks with start and end times, templates covering one or more days, a template calendar, reminders with their own sound, time tracking and charts of where the hours went. It does that fully, and it's a smaller job: the FAQ says outright it's neither a calendar nor a to-do app, and the Schedule shows 30 days. |
| Ease of use | BA phone app you install and start using with no account and nothing to set up, and no store rating on record. | CNo store rating on record. Blocks and templates are simple ideas and the help site has a basic guide, but you build your own templates before the app does anything for you. |
| Platforms and integrations | CiPhone and Android only, with no web, Mac or Windows version. | DAndroid and nothing else. The Play listing and the help site mention no iPhone, no web and no desktop version. It does read Google Calendar and back up to Google Drive. |

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
