# Hours Tracker vs Easy Hours

The clearest difference is price: Hours Tracker at Free against Easy Hours's $4.99. Hours Tracker also leads on ratings volume (56K vs 434) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Easy Hours's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and chart position there is nothing between them.

Hours Tracker is free to download; Easy Hours costs $4.99 up front. Hours Tracker sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Easy Hours asks for nothing beyond the download.

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 434, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Hours Tracker's written reviews are positive against 88% of Easy Hours's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hours Tracker ships an update every 3 weeks, Easy Hours every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
