Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Work Counter at none against Salary Calculator.'s shown. Work Counter also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Salary Calculator.'s advantage is review sentiment (58% vs 45%) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Salary Calculator. sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Work Counter sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Work Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 16 and 56 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Salary Calculator.'s written reviews are positive against 45% of Work Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Salary Calculator. ships an update every 12 months, Work Counter every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
