TimeBlocks vs TimeTree

TimeBlocks

• People who like to decorate a calendar the way they would a paper diary
• Keeping events, to-dos, habits and memos in one phone app
• Friends, couples and families sharing a group schedule

TimeTree

• Families and couples keeping one shared schedule
• Groups that want to discuss a plan inside the event itself
• Artists, stores and local governments publishing event dates to followers

TimeBlocks

• The free version carries ads. Removing them is a Premium function, as are auto sync, search across all periods and file attachments.
• The US App Store also lists coin packs from $1.99 for 10 coins to $13.99 for 200 coins, separate from the Premium subscription.
• The vendor's site has no price list, so the prices here come from the US App Store listing and the web calendar may be priced differently.
• The vendor lists phone, tablet and web versions but no separate Mac or Windows app. Its landing page defaults to Korean, with English, Chinese and Japanese in a language menu.

TimeTree

• The free version shows ads; removing them requires Premium.
• Attaching PDFs and other files, the vertical hour-by-hour view and event priority are Premium-only.
• TimeTree notes that Premium pricing varies by region and currency and points buyers to the App Store or Google Play for the exact price.
• The App Store listing covers iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple Vision; computers use the web version rather than a desktop app.
