# Deputy vs AllWork

The clearest difference is rating: Deputy at 4.8 against AllWork's 3.8. Deputy also leads on ratings volume (6.1K vs 126) and chart position (#206 vs unranked). AllWork's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (82% vs 59%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Deputy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $59.99 per month. AllWork asks for nothing beyond the download.

Deputy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deputy has 6.1K ratings behind it against 126, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Deputy's written reviews are positive against 82% of AllWork's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Deputy ships an update weekly, AllWork every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
