# Hours Tracker vs ClockIn

The clearest difference is ads: ClockIn at none against Hours Tracker's shown. ClockIn also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). Hours Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (40 vs 4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hours Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and ClockIn sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ClockIn holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Tracker has 40 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Hours Tracker ships an update every 3 weeks, ClockIn every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on June 5, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
