Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Hours Tracker at none against Work Log's shown. Hours Tracker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). Work Log's advantage is ratings volume (3.9K vs 31). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
