Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Time Card Calculator at none against Timecard Buddy's 2. Time Card Calculator also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 34). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Timecard Buddy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year. Time Card Calculator asks for nothing beyond the download.
Time Card Calculator holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Card Calculator has 1.2K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Time Card Calculator's written reviews are positive against 64% of Timecard Buddy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Time Card Calculator ships an update monthly, Timecard Buddy every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
