They both work and have different usages. "At" marks a specific time, "in" indicates within a duration of time.
We came home at the same time.
I ran 100m in the same time it took you to run 200m.

You MUST say /in the same time/ when you express that two or more things
took an equal length of time to be done, that is, when the time is not a precise moment, but is a duration.
They run the marathon in the same time, although their age was quite different;
the judges had an hard time we deciding who the winner was.
