Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Workflowy at weekly against Zenkit Chat's every 2 months. Workflowy also leads on ratings volume (8.2K vs 8) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Zenkit Chat's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 88%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Workflowy holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Workflowy has 8.2K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Workflowy's written reviews are positive against 100% of Zenkit Chat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Workflowy ships an update weekly, Zenkit Chat every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
