# Hours Tracker vs Timesheet & Activity Log

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.

Both are free to download. Hours Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Timesheet & Activity Log sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

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.

Hours Tracker ships an update weekly, Timesheet & Activity Log every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
