# Hours Tracker vs P

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hours Tracker at 73% against P's 29%. Hours Tracker also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (56K vs 10). P's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hours Tracker sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and P sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hours Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Tracker has 56K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 73% of Hours Tracker's written reviews are positive against 29% of P's.

Hours Tracker ships an update fortnightly, P every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and August 23, 2026 respectively.
