# Hours Keeper vs Timesheet Plus

The clearest difference is rating: Timesheet Plus at 4.7 against Hours Keeper's 4.1. Timesheet Plus also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Hours Keeper's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 74). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hours Keeper sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Timesheet Plus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Timesheet Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Keeper has 1.4K ratings behind it against 74, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Hours Keeper ships an update monthly, Timesheet Plus every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
