# Timewerks vs Client Hours

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Timewerks at 79% against Client Hours's 0%. Timewerks also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). Client Hours's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
