# Punch Time Clock vs WorkHours

The clearest difference is update cadence: Punch Time Clock at every 4 days against WorkHours's every 2 months. Punch Time Clock also leads on ratings volume (35K vs 1.2K). WorkHours's advantage is review sentiment (84% vs 69%) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Punch Time Clock sells 4 one-off in-app purchases 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.
