# Time Calculator vs Hours Tracker

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hours Tracker at 81K against Time Calculator's 2.8K. Hours Tracker also leads on chart position (#168 vs unranked). Time Calculator's advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 65%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Calculator sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Hours Tracker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Time Calculator against 4.7 for Hours Tracker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hours Tracker has 81K ratings behind it against 2.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
