Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
HS Team App holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HS Team App has 9.3K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of HS Team App's written reviews are positive against 27% of Workstream US's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
HS Team App ships an update every 8 days, Workstream US every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
