Hourly gives you power to: • Create a to-do list of tasks and count time spent on every task. • Use the list of your results to make reports for employers if you work for hourly rate. • Watch how productive your work was during a day and a month. • See all the tasks left to be done. • Measure how long different activities take, so next time you’ll know what deadlines to set. • Find out what jobs take unreasonable amounts of time, so you can delegate them, for instance. • Detect and get rid of time parasites. !!!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Timelogger Plus at 4.6 against Hourly's 4.1. Timelogger Plus also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (76 vs 11). Hourly's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 76%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Timelogger Plus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Hourly sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Timelogger Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timelogger Plus has 76 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of Timelogger Plus's written reviews are positive against 88% of Hourly's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Timelogger Plus ships an update every 2 weeks, Hourly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
