# WorkTimes vs Hours Keeper

The clearest difference is rating: WorkTimes at 4.8 against Hours Keeper's 4.1. WorkTimes also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Hours Keeper's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 73) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkTimes sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Hours Keeper sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WorkTimes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Keeper has 1.4K ratings behind it against 73, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of WorkTimes's written reviews are positive against 57% of Hours Keeper's.

WorkTimes ships an update every 3 weeks, Hours Keeper monthly. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
