# Timesheet IO vs Working Timer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Timesheet IO at 54% against Working Timer's 0%. Timesheet IO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (96 vs 12). Working Timer's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timesheet IO sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Working Timer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Working Timer holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timesheet IO has 96 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Timesheet IO's written reviews are positive against 0% of Working Timer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timesheet IO ships an update every 2 weeks, Working Timer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
