Top answer
"She cries all the time" literally means that she cries continuously, without ever stopping. However, usually it would not be meant completely literally, but would mean "She cries very often" / "She cries a great deal" (a bit stronger, perhaps, than your "pretty frequently"). "She cries mostly every time" does not make proper sense.
