# Hours Tracker vs WorkTimes

The clearest difference is ads: WorkTimes at none against Hours Tracker's shown. Hours Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (56K vs 73) and chart position (#104 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hours Tracker sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and WorkTimes sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Hours Tracker against 4.8 for WorkTimes. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Tracker has 56K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 73% of Hours Tracker's written reviews are positive against 79% of WorkTimes's.

Hours Tracker ships an update fortnightly, WorkTimes every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
