Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Timewerks at free with in-app purchases against TimeTracker's subscription. Timewerks also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and ads (none vs shown). TimeTracker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
