# Deputy vs My WorkLife

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My WorkLife at none against Deputy's 2. My WorkLife also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). Deputy's advantage is ratings volume (6.2K vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, 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. My WorkLife asks for nothing beyond the download.

My WorkLife holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deputy has 6.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Deputy's written reviews are positive against 50% of My WorkLife's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Deputy ships an update weekly, My WorkLife every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
