# WorkTime vs Hourlytics

WorkTime and Hourlytics both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Hourlytics's written reviews are positive against 59% of WorkTime's. Hourlytics also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). WorkTime's advantage is ratings volume (4.7K vs 4). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkTime sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Hourlytics sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for WorkTime against 4.5 for Hourlytics. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkTime has 4.7K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 59% of WorkTime's written reviews are positive against 100% of Hourlytics's.
