Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: BalanceBenefits at free against WorkTango's freemium. BalanceBenefits also leads on review sentiment (25% vs 10%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). WorkTango's advantage is ratings volume (87 vs 12). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
