Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: WorkHours at Free against Week Timer's $2.99. WorkHours also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 9) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Week Timer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Week Timer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkHours has 1.2K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Week Timer's written reviews are positive against 84% of WorkHours's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Week Timer ships an update every 6 months, WorkHours every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
