# Time Tracker vs How Long

The clearest difference is rating: How Long at 5.0 against Time Tracker's 4.3. How Long also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Time Tracker's advantage is ratings volume (15 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Time Tracker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and How Long sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

How Long holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Time Tracker has 15 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Time Tracker ships an update monthly, How Long fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
