Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Activity at none against Time Recording's 1. Activity also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). Time Recording's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
