Both are free to download. timr sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Work Counter sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Work Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19 and 56 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of timr's written reviews are positive against 45% of Work Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
timr ships an update every 4 days, Work Counter every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
