# WorkingHours vs TIME REC.

The clearest difference is rating: WorkingHours at 4.8 against TIME REC.'s 3.8. WorkingHours also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (346 vs 4). TIME REC.'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkingHours sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and TIME REC. sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WorkingHours holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkingHours has 346 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WorkingHours ships an update fortnightly, TIME REC. every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
