# Hours Tracker vs Daily

The clearest difference is ads: Daily at none against Hours Tracker's shown. Daily also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 73%). Hours Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (56K vs 9) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). 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 Daily sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Tracker has 56K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Hours Tracker's written reviews are positive against 86% of Daily's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hours Tracker ships an update fortnightly, Daily every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
