Verdict

The call

WorkJam and Workforce Tools both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 41% of Workforce Tools's written reviews are positive against 17% of WorkJam's. Workforce Tools also leads on ratings volume (119K vs 23K) and device support (4 vs 2). WorkJam's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
