The Papershift time clock is the ideal way to digitally track, edit and synchronize employee working hours with the Papershift Cloud. Settings and time records are automatically synchronized when a network connection is available and are always up to date. In addition to these basic functions, the app also offers: -ADMIN FEATURES- With an Admin Account you can set up a stationary time tracking device for several employees. For example, a tablet at a central location where employees can clock in, clock out and take a break. Automatic breaks or tags can also be taken into account. -EMPLOYEE FEATURES- With an employee account, in addition to using the mobile clocking functions, an overview of existing time tracking can be displayed and edited, and the current hours account can be viewed. Also keep track of your hourly account and your remaining vacation days. All this can be done easily via an existing Papershift login. -ADDITIONAL FEATURES- Explore more options, such as stamping via employee pin or confirmation with signature.

Track work time, keep accurate timesheets, and prepare billable records without a subscription. WorkingHours is a personal time tracker for freelancers, hourly workers, employees, contractors, consultants, and anyone who wants a clear record of their workday. Start the timer when work begins, pause and resume for breaks, then stop when you are done. Breaks can be subtracted automatically. If you forget to track something, add or edit entries manually and correct the details later. Sessions that cross midnight can be split automatically. Keep your hours organized and useful. • Assign time to tasks or projects • Add tags, notes, and descriptions • Automatically apply tags to projects or new entries • Track overtime, hourly rates, earnings, and fixed fees • Adjust time or earnings with flexible tag rules • Search and filter entries quickly Understand where your time goes with charts and visual reports. Switch between duration and revenue to review work patterns, check billable hours, or prepare records for clients and managers. Export timesheet data in the format you need. • Export to Excel or CSV • Choose which columns to include • Group records by day, week, month, task, or tag • Create PDF invoices from tracked data with SubTotal Capture time with less friction using widgets, notifications, NFC tags, and Apple Watch timer controls. Geofencing can detect workplace arrivals and departures, while Pomodoro focus sessions help structure concentrated work. You can also use Apple Shortcuts and view or import appointments from your calendar or Outlook. Optional sync keeps your work available across supported phone, tablet, laptop, and desktop versions. It uses your own iCloud, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, or WebDAV storage, so no WorkingHours account or registration is required. WorkingHours is free to use, and Pro features can be tested with a 7-day trial. Pro is a one-time purchase linked to your Apple ID that unlocks Pro for iOS/iPadOS; a separate purchase may be required on other platforms.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WorkingHours at 91% against Station's 48%. WorkingHours also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (357 vs 2). Station's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
