# TimeSheet vs Work Counter

The clearest difference is rating: Work Counter at 4.8 against TimeSheet's 3.3. Work Counter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). TimeSheet's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 45%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TimeSheet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Work Counter sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Work Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 53 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of TimeSheet's written reviews are positive against 45% of Work Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TimeSheet ships an update every 4 months, Work Counter every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
