# Hours vs WorkHours

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hours at 16K against WorkHours's 1.2K. Hours also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). WorkHours's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 74%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hours sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and WorkHours sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 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 — 4.6 for Hours against 4.7 for WorkHours. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours has 16K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 74% of Hours's written reviews are positive against 84% of WorkHours's.

Hours ships an update monthly, WorkHours every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 14, 2026.
