Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SAM Field at 5.0 against WorkTango's 3.1. SAM Field also leads on monetization model (free vs freemium) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). WorkTango's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (87 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
