The location-aware time tracker with a focus on clean, ergonomic workflow for efficient tracking of your activities. "Hands down the best time tracking app for the iPhone (5 Stars) by Eddiela" "Best one (5 Stars) by mcomte" iPunchclock makes it easy to track the time you spend on different tasks. Whether you are a professional who bills by the hour, or just have a serious interest in tracking what you do, and when and where, to the second, iPunchclock is there for you. Thanks to the iPhone's awesome technology, iPunchclock is also location savvy, and along with the time and date, can store the longitude, latitude and altitude at which you start and stop on a particular task. iPunchclock can help everyone, from lawyers and independent contractors to scientists and backcountry marathon runners, track their activities with ease and precision. iPunchclock manages multiple independent 'timesheets'. Each timesheet is made up of any number of tasks you care to add. Each task contains a list of 'shifts'. Whenever you start working on that task, just tap start, and iPunchclock opens a new shift, recording the exact time and place. Multitaskers rejoice, your iPunchclock can hold as many simultaneously active tasks as you need, across any number of timesheets. In addition to the task descriptions, each shift can carry its own comment. Once you have accumulated a mass of data defining your activities, you can export them via email or directly to a browser via WiFi or upload to the cloud. Because you can add or edit shifts in your timesheet at any time, iPunchclock can easily be used to create a timesheet at day's end, rather than logging activities as they occur. iPunchclock is designed for efficiency, and will wake up ready to start or stop your most recent task at a touch.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: R at 100% against iPunchclock's 45%. R also leads on rating (3.2 vs 1.3) and ratings volume (38 vs 3). iPunchclock's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 14 months) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
