# Hours Tracker vs Time Entry for Business

The clearest difference is ads: Time Entry for Business at none against Hours Tracker's shown. Time Entry for Business also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (4 vs 2). Hours Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (56K vs 2) and chart position (#106 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hours Tracker sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Time Entry for Business sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Time Entry for Business holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Tracker has 56K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
