Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Encore MGR holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ClockShark Time Tracking has 93 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Encore MGR's written reviews are positive against 30% of ClockShark Time Tracking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
