# Hours vs Workyard GPS Time Tracking App

The clearest difference is rating: Hours at 4.6 against Workyard GPS Time Tracking App's 4.0. Hours also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 242) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). Workyard GPS Time Tracking App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hours sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Workyard GPS Time Tracking App asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hours holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours has 16K ratings behind it against 242, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Hours's written reviews are positive against 80% of Workyard GPS Time Tracking App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hours ships an update monthly, Workyard GPS Time Tracking App every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
