Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Work Log at none against Timely Sheets's shown. Work Log also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (817 vs 33). Timely Sheets's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 28%) and iOS requirement (14.1 vs 16.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
