Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: ClockIn at free with in-app purchases against Hours tracker's subscription. Hours tracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (84 vs 9). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ClockIn holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours tracker has 84 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 0% and 0% positive.
