# Hours Tracker vs TimeTracker Pro

The clearest difference is ads: TimeTracker Pro at none against Hours Tracker's shown. Hours Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (56K vs 132) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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 TimeTracker Pro sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hours Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Tracker has 56K ratings behind it against 132, 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 64% of TimeTracker Pro's.

Hours Tracker ships an update fortnightly, TimeTracker Pro monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
