Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Start at none against aTimeLogger's 11. Start also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). aTimeLogger's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. aTimeLogger sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Start asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Start holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: aTimeLogger has 312 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of aTimeLogger's written reviews are positive against 67% of Start's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

aTimeLogger ships an update every 3 weeks, Start every 6 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
