Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Payroll Calendar at 5.0 against Sked's 3.7. Payroll Calendar also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). Sked's advantage is ratings volume (164 vs 8) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sked sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Payroll Calendar sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Payroll Calendar holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sked has 164 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.
