Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: myWorkforce at 2.4 against PayDayPortal's 1.9. myWorkforce also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). PayDayPortal's advantage is review sentiment (28% vs 5%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
