Verdict
Hours X and Work Counter both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 82% of Hours X's written reviews are positive against 43% of Work Counter's. Hours X also leads on ratings volume (505 vs 51) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.2). Work Counter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Hours X sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Work Counter sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Work Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours X has 505 ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Hours X's written reviews are positive against 43% of Work Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hours X ships an update every 2 months, Work Counter every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
