# Clocket vs Hours Keeper

The clearest difference is monetization model: Clocket at free with in-app purchases against Hours Keeper's subscription. Clocket also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). Hours Keeper's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 48%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clocket sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Hours Keeper sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Clocket holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 6.5K and 1.4K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Clocket's written reviews are positive against 57% of Hours Keeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Clocket ships an update weekly, Hours Keeper monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
