Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SAP Concur at 4.8 against Joule Work's 4.4. SAP Concur also leads on ratings volume (1.1M vs 117) and chart position (#83 vs unranked). Joule Work's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 21%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SAP Concur holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SAP Concur has 1.1M ratings behind it against 117, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of SAP Concur's written reviews are positive against 33% of Joule Work's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SAP Concur ships an update fortnightly, Joule Work every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
