Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Rewind at 4.6 against Time Tracker's 4.3. Rewind also leads on ratings volume (246 vs 15) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). Time Tracker's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
