# Time Tracker vs ScreenBreak

The clearest difference is monetization model: ScreenBreak at free with in-app purchases against Time Tracker's subscription. ScreenBreak also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.5). Time Tracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (64% vs 50%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Tracker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and ScreenBreak sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScreenBreak holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Tracker has 113 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Time Tracker's written reviews are positive against 50% of ScreenBreak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Time Tracker ships an update weekly, ScreenBreak every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 5, 2026 respectively.
