# P vs Hours

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hours at 74% against P's 29%. Hours also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (16K vs 10). P's advantage is monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. P sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hours sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hours holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours has 16K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 29% of P's written reviews are positive against 74% of Hours's.

P ships an update every 2 months, Hours monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
