Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: MyWorkspace at free against Zen Educate's free with in-app purchases. MyWorkspace also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Zen Educate's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 1) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Zen Educate against 5.0 for MyWorkspace. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zen Educate has 1.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Zen Educate's written reviews are positive against 77% of MyWorkspace's.
Zen Educate ships an update every 11 days, MyWorkspace every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
