Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hours Tracker at 4.7 against My smartLED's 2.4. Hours Tracker also leads on review sentiment (66% vs 26%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). My smartLED's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
