Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sociate at none against Clockout's 18. Sociate also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Clockout's advantage is ratings volume (7.9K vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
