ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Clockout holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clockout has 8K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Clockout's written reviews are positive against 100% of NECX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Clockout ships an update weekly, NECX fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
