Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: vCheckin at none against TimeCount's 8. vCheckin also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and device support (3 vs 1). TimeCount's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (25K vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
