# myWorkforce vs PayDayPortal

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.

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

myWorkforce holds the better App Store score, 2.4 against 1.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 244 and 186 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of myWorkforce's written reviews are positive against 28% of PayDayPortal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

myWorkforce ships an update every 4 months, PayDayPortal monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
