# Timesheet IO vs Hourly

The clearest difference is rating: Hourly at 4.8 against Timesheet IO's 4.5. Timesheet IO's advantage is ratings volume (99 vs 8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timesheet IO sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Hourly sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hourly holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. 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.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
