# WorkTime vs Sked

The clearest difference is rating: WorkTime at 4.4 against Sked's 3.7. WorkTime also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 164). Sked's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkTime sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Sked sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WorkTime holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkTime has 4.7K ratings behind it against 164, so its average is the more settled of the two.
