# Paycom vs CenterCard

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Paycom at 1.6M against CenterCard's 3.8K. Paycom also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 35%) and chart position (#25 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Paycom against 4.8 for CenterCard. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paycom has 1.6M ratings behind it against 3.8K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 58% of Paycom's written reviews are positive against 35% of CenterCard's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
