# Hours Keeper vs WorkHours

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WorkHours at 84% against Hours Keeper's 0%. WorkHours also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 1). Hours Keeper's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkHours sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Hours Keeper asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hours Keeper holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkHours has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Hours Keeper's written reviews are positive against 84% of WorkHours's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
