Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: WorkWhile at 4.7 against Nowsta's 4.2. WorkWhile also leads on ratings volume (19K vs 832) and chart position (#160 vs unranked). Nowsta's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
