Mindset gives your team a direct line to the AI agents your organization has built. Sign in with your work email, choose an agent, and start asking. Each agent is set up by your organization and answers from the knowledge it has been given, so what comes back fits how your team actually works. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Chat with any agent your organization has made available to you • Keep a separate conversation history with each agent and pick up where you left off • Start a new conversation whenever the subject changes • Speak your question instead of typing it • Rate any answer and tell us what was wrong with it BUILT FOR ORGANIZATIONS Your access comes from your organization. An administrator decides which agents you can reach and what knowledge sits behind them, and your conversations are held against your own account. YOUR ACCOUNT Manage your password. You can delete your account, and the personal data held with it, from the same place at any time.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Mindset at every 2 weeks against Payscales's every 9 months. Mindset also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
