Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: SimpleTime at free against aTimeLogger's subscription. SimpleTime also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). aTimeLogger's advantage is ratings volume (303 vs 3) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support 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. aTimeLogger sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and SimpleTime sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SimpleTime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: aTimeLogger has 303 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of aTimeLogger's written reviews are positive against 100% of SimpleTime's.
aTimeLogger ships an update fortnightly, SimpleTime every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
