# iHour vs TimeTracking

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TimeTracking at none against iHour's 6. TimeTracking also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). iHour's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (810 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iHour sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. TimeTracking asks for nothing beyond the download.

TimeTracking holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iHour has 810 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of iHour's written reviews are positive against 89% of TimeTracking's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iHour ships an update monthly, TimeTracking every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
