Pick Every Time Zone if
- Fits if you schedule calls across a few time zones
- Works for remote teams who want a shared timeline link
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free, as meeting suggestions, people tracking and iCal sharing are Pro
- Watch out: the Pro price is only shown inside sign-up
- Watch out: the sign-up page says plans are 20% off, with no full price shown
- Skip it if you want an app, as it runs in a browser only
- Watch out: billing is monthly in advance and non-refundable
Pick World Time Buddy if
- Fits if your team is spread over three or four time zones and you want working hours side by side
- Works for picking a call time for people in different countries
Look elsewhere if

- Not for you if stale apps worry you, with the iPhone app last updated in November 2020 and Android in January 2020
- Tight if you won't sign in, as renaming places and grouping them in tabs on the website needs an account
- Watch out: the Android app carries ads, and the iPhone app shows a $2.99 upgrade with no word on whether it renews
- Not for you if you want a desktop app, as it's the website and phones only
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAEvery Time ZoneFair | 3.4GPAWorld Time BuddyVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CThe Pro price is not published on the pages read, so it sits in the middle by default. | AThe website costs nothing, where a typical calendar tool wants about $6 a month. The only price anywhere is a $2.99 upgrade inside the iPhone app, for location groups, and the listing never says whether that's a one-off or a subscription. The maker's own mobile page gives a workaround that unlocks it free. |
| Free plan and trial | BThe time zone timeline and share link are free, enough for one person comparing cities. | AFree with every feature on the web since the maker dropped paid subscriptions in May 2022, with nothing to run out. The iPhone and Android apps are free downloads too, though Google Play says the Android one carries ads. |
| Features | CIt compares time zones fully, which is a smaller job. Meeting suggestions and people tracking are Pro. | CHour tiles you read down a column, daylight saving warnings a week ahead, weekend marking, a Google Calendar overlay and widgets for your own website. It does time zone comparison completely, and that's a small job: it holds no events of its own, and the last iPhone version on record is November 2020. |
| Ease of use | BNo rating on record, but it is open a page and use it with nothing to set up. | A4.76 from about 14,000 App Store ratings. Add your cities, drag across the hours you want, send them to your calendar. That's the whole thing. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no native apps and no integrations named in the listing. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with no desktop app, and a time you pick opens in Google Calendar, Outlook, iCal or Gmail. Do note Google Play shows the Android app last updated in January 2020. |

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.
