# WorkTimes vs Hours X

The clearest difference is ads: WorkTimes at none against Hours X's shown. WorkTimes also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Hours X's advantage is ratings volume (505 vs 73) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.6). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkTimes sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Hours X sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WorkTimes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours X has 505 ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of WorkTimes's written reviews are positive against 82% of Hours X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WorkTimes ships an update every 3 weeks, Hours X every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
