# Hours Time Tracking vs WorkHours

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WorkHours at 84% against Hours Time Tracking's 70%. WorkHours also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Hours Time Tracking's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (7K vs 1.2K).

Both are free to download. Hours Time Tracking sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and WorkHours sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
