ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Hours Keeper holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timesheet Mobile™ has 2.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Timesheet Mobile™'s written reviews are positive against 0% of Hours Keeper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Timesheet Mobile™ ships an update every 5 weeks, Hours Keeper every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
