Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Inovalon WFM at 4.7 against TimeTrex's 3.9. Inovalon WFM also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 106). TimeTrex's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 34%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Inovalon WFM holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inovalon WFM has 20K ratings behind it against 106, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of TimeTrex's written reviews are positive against 34% of Inovalon WFM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TimeTrex ships an update every 3 weeks, Inovalon WFM every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
