# WorkTime vs Hours Tracker

The clearest difference is ratings volume: WorkTime at 4.7K against Hours Tracker's 12. WorkTime also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Hours Tracker's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, 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 Hours Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hours Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkTime has 4.7K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of WorkTime's written reviews are positive against 67% of Hours Tracker's.

WorkTime ships an update every 3 weeks, Hours Tracker every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
