# HourTracker vs Tally

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tally at 60% against HourTracker's 0%. Tally also leads on price (Free vs $6.99) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 1). HourTracker's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Tally is free to download; HourTracker costs $6.99 up front. HourTracker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month and Tally sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HourTracker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tally has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of HourTracker's written reviews are positive against 60% of Tally's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

HourTracker ships an update every 5 days, Tally every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
