Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Nifty at fortnightly against Workast's every 2 months. Nifty also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (45 vs 7). Workast's advantage is iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Nifty holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Nifty has 45 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Nifty's written reviews are positive against 71% of Workast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nifty ships an update fortnightly, Workast every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
