# Hours Keeper vs Invoice Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Invoice Maker at 4.8 against Hours Keeper's 4.1. Invoice Maker also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Hours Keeper's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 38) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hours Keeper sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Invoice Maker sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Invoice Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Keeper has 1.4K ratings behind it against 38, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of Hours Keeper's written reviews are positive against 64% of Invoice Maker's.

Hours Keeper ships an update monthly, Invoice Maker fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
