‘On time’ means ‘at the planned time’; that is, neither too early nor too late. The opposite is ‘early’ or ‘late.’ It is often used to refer to timetabled events.
Example:
I just checked with the airport; the flight is on time.
I want the meeting to start exactly on time.
‘In time’ means ‘with enough time to spare’ or before the last moment. Its opposite would be ‘too late.’Â
Example:
He would’ve been dead if you hadn’t got him to the hospital in time.
