allzeit vs immer

always

'immer' and 'allzeit' both mean 'at all times'. The most important difference is style. 'immer' is the normal everyday word and fits almost anywhere. 'allzeit' sounds elevated, old-fashioned, or ceremonial, and often appears in fixed wishes, for example in formal or friendly farewell phrases. In terms of meaning, they are very close, but in normal conversation 'immer' sounds more natural.

Visual example for immer
allzeit

Ich wünsche dir allzeit gute Fahrt.

immer

Wir helfen der Nachbarin immer, wenn sie schwere Taschen trägt.

We always help the neighbor when she is carrying heavy bags.
