Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Notepad at 84% against Time Tracker Free's 33%. Notepad also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (29K vs 10). Time Tracker Free's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
