Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Work Counter at 4.8 against Salary Overtime's 3.0. Work Counter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (56 vs 2). Salary Overtime's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 45%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Work Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Work Counter has 56 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Work Counter's written reviews are positive against 60% of Salary Overtime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Work Counter ships an update every 3 weeks, Salary Overtime every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
