Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CanPlan at free against Time Tracker's subscription. CanPlan also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (78% vs 64%). Time Tracker's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (113 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
