# Timesheet IO vs Crew Call

The clearest difference is rating: Timesheet IO at 4.5 against Crew Call's 4.0. Timesheet IO also leads on ratings volume (99 vs 8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Crew Call's advantage is review sentiment (86% vs 54%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, 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 Crew Call sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $69.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timesheet IO holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timesheet IO has 99 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of Timesheet IO's written reviews are positive against 86% of Crew Call's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Timesheet IO ships an update fortnightly, Crew Call monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
