Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: WorkTime at none against Stella's shown. WorkTime also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 26) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). Stella's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 59%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. WorkTime sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Stella sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WorkTime holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkTime has 4.7K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of WorkTime's written reviews are positive against 77% of Stella's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
