# Employee TimeCard vs Toolr

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Toolr at 46% against Employee TimeCard's 0%. Toolr also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (358 vs 2). Employee TimeCard's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Employee TimeCard sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Toolr sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
