# ATracker Time Tracker vs RescueTime

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ATracker Time Tracker at 92% against RescueTime's 21%. ATracker Time Tracker also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 weeks). RescueTime's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ATracker Time Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and RescueTime sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

RescueTime holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ATracker Time Tracker has 3.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of ATracker Time Tracker's written reviews are positive against 21% of RescueTime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ATracker Time Tracker ships an update every 2 weeks, RescueTime every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
