Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Hours Tracker at 4.7 against Timesheet & Activity Log's 4.1. Hours Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). Timesheet & Activity Log's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hours Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Tracker has 84K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Hours Tracker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Timesheet & Activity Log's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hours Tracker ships an update weekly, Timesheet & Activity Log every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
