Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: WorkHours at none against Hours Tracker's shown. WorkHours also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 74%) and device support (4 vs 2). Hours Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (56K vs 1.2K) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
