# Clock In vs Hourly

The clearest difference is ads: Clock In at none against Hourly's shown. Clock In also leads on ratings volume (6.5K vs 35) and review sentiment (48% vs 25%). Hourly's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

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

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Clock In against 4.7 for Hourly. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clock In has 6.5K ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 48% of Clock In's written reviews are positive against 25% of Hourly's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
