Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: WorkTime at 4.4 against World Clock's 3.3. WorkTime also leads on ratings volume (4.7K vs 82) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). World Clock's advantage is review sentiment (87% vs 59%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. World Clock sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and WorkTime sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WorkTime holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkTime has 4.7K ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of World Clock's written reviews are positive against 59% of WorkTime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

World Clock ships an update every 3 months, WorkTime every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
