Humanize. Maximize. It’s at the core of what we do. Important Notes: 1. Use of this app requires data usage, subject to additional charges. Data charges will depend on the mobile phone service provider and actual usage patterns. 2. The Ascentis App collects and transmits (or allows the transmission of) geolocation information to the Workforce Management solution. The App accesses geolocation information for the sole purpose of recording the location of employee time punches. The App saves geolocation information within separate electronic timesheets for each employee. The information is provided with the sole intent of allowing supervisors/managers to verify locations from which employees report time punches. GPS data capture requires employee (app user) authorization. Location information will not be collected if GPS is not authorized. 3. The App transmits geolocation information only to the Ascentis Workforce Management database of the client company with which an employee is associated. Geolocation information collected by the App is the property of the client and may be used and shared at the client’s discretion. Ascentis is not responsible for the client’s release of geolocation information. 4. GPS location accuracy depends on physical location, signal strength, and the mobile phone service provider. Ascentis cannot guarantee the capture of exact locations.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MyASTCA at 4.4 against Ascentis's 3.9. MyASTCA also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%). Ascentis's advantage is ratings volume (121 vs 11) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
