Choose Accrue if
- Your supervisor needs to review and sign, not just be told a number.
- You want the monthly verification form built from your hours instead of retyped.
- You are bringing prior supervision documentation with you.
Choose Ripley Fieldwork Tracker if
- You just want a free running total of your hours.
- Your supervisor already signs paper or PDF forms and that works fine.
