# TimeWorksPlus vs Payentry

The clearest difference is rating: Payentry at 2.7 against TimeWorksPlus's 2.4. Payentry also leads on ratings volume (615 vs 99). TimeWorksPlus's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Payentry holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Payentry has 615 ratings behind it against 99, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of TimeWorksPlus's written reviews are positive against 13% of Payentry's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TimeWorksPlus ships an update every 2 months, Payentry every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
