# Hours Keeper vs Client Hours

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hours Keeper at 57% against Client Hours's 0%. Hours Keeper also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 32). Client Hours's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hours Keeper sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Client Hours sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Client Hours holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Keeper has 1.4K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Hours Keeper's written reviews are positive against 0% of Client Hours's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Hours Keeper ships an update monthly, Client Hours every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
