Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: iboChron at free against Punch time clock's free with in-app purchases. iboChron also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Punch time clock's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 41) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Punch time clock sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and iboChron sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Punch time clock against 4.7 for iboChron. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Punch time clock has 3K ratings behind it against 41, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of Punch time clock's written reviews are positive against 86% of iboChron's.
Punch time clock ships an update every 3 weeks, iboChron every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 4, 2026.
