Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Clock In at none against Timely Sheets's shown. Clock In also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 7 months). Timely Sheets's advantage is iOS requirement (14.1 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clock In sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Timely Sheets sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Clock In holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clock In has 6.5K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Clock In's written reviews are positive against 50% of Timely Sheets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Clock In ships an update weekly, Timely Sheets every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
