Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Push Employee at 3.0 against WorkAxle's 1.7. Push Employee also leads on ratings volume (38 vs 7). WorkAxle's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (27% vs 18%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Push Employee holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Push Employee has 38 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Push Employee's written reviews are positive against 27% of WorkAxle's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Push Employee ships an update every 2 months, WorkAxle every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
