Yes, there is a difference: On time means "punctually": "Make sure to be on time for the party." (Don't be late) In time means "before a time limit expires", such as in sports (basketball, in this case): "Did he get the shot off in time?" (before the clock ran out)

Hey! On time = at the planned time; neither late nor early: Peter wants the meeting to start exactly on time (the meeting is at 9 pm and he wants it to start at 9 pm) My flight is on time! (it is supposed to leave at 3 pm and it will leave at 3 pm) In time = with enough time to spare; before the last moment: He would have died if they hadn’t got him to the hospital in time. (with some minutes to spare) I wanted to do some kind of study abroad program, but I didn't get my applications done in time. (before the deadline) En español, "on time" en estos casos se traduciría como "puntual" o "a la hora estipulada". "In time", sería la traducción más literal, "a tiempo". Hope it helps!

On time means at a particular designated time, i.e. neither especially early nor late on the scheduled time. Please be on time because you know I don't like waiting, In time means early enough, before a deadline or another cutoff. like for example you know we have to be at the gate by 8:25pm we didn't get to the airport till 8:20pm but there was no line at security, so we still made it in time.

be on time = be punctual If you're not here on time, you get a fine be in time for something = get there before something begins We got there in time for the concert.
