Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Timecard Tracker at none against Timely's 4. Timecard Tracker also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Timely's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
