# Hours Tracker vs Time Continuum

Hours Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (56K vs 1) and chart position (#118 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 Continuum sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
