ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Work Hours & Pay Calculator holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Work Hours & Pay Calculator has 14K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Live Time's written reviews are positive against 77% of Work Hours & Pay Calculator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Live Time ships an update monthly, Work Hours & Pay Calculator every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
