Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: WorkTime at 4.7 against Stella's 4.2. WorkTime also leads on ratings volume (584 vs 26) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 weeks). Stella's advantage is review sentiment (77% vs 63%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WorkTime holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkTime has 584 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of WorkTime's written reviews are positive against 77% of Stella's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WorkTime ships an update every 2 weeks, Stella every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
