# Toolr vs Hours

The clearest difference is rating: Hours at 4.6 against Toolr's 4.2. Hours also leads on review sentiment (73% vs 46%) and ratings volume (16K vs 358). Toolr's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Toolr sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month 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 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours has 16K ratings behind it against 358, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 46% of Toolr's written reviews are positive against 73% of Hours's.

Toolr ships an update every 2 weeks, Hours monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
