Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Volunteer Time Tracking at 4.6 against Election Runner's 2.6. Volunteer Time Tracking also leads on ratings volume (905 vs 14).

Volunteer Time Tracking holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Volunteer Time Tracking has 905 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Volunteer Time Tracking's written reviews are positive against 50% of Election Runner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Volunteer Time Tracking ships an update every 6 weeks, Election Runner every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and July 7, 2026 respectively.
