# Hours Tracker vs myWork

The clearest difference is ads: myWork at none against Hours Tracker's shown. myWork also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 73%) and device support (4 vs 2). Hours Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (56K vs 15) and chart position (#105 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hours Tracker sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and myWork sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 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 4.9 for myWork. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Tracker has 56K ratings behind it against 15, 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 89% of myWork's.

Hours Tracker ships an update fortnightly, myWork every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
