Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Hourline at 11 against LutraTally's 2. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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. LutraTally sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Hourline sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for LutraTally against 4.9 for Hourline. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hourline has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
LutraTally ships an update every 2 days, Hourline every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
