# Tracking Time PRO vs RescueTime

The clearest difference is rating: RescueTime at 4.3 against Tracking Time PRO's 3.0. Tracking Time PRO's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (49% vs 21%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RescueTime sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.00 per month. Tracking Time PRO asks for nothing beyond the download.

RescueTime holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tracking Time PRO has 23 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Tracking Time PRO's written reviews are positive against 21% of RescueTime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tracking Time PRO ships an update every 3 weeks, RescueTime every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
