Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Paytrack at 4.7 against CrewBid's 3.9. Paytrack also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 51%) and ratings volume (716 vs 227). CrewBid's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Reported bugs
11 issues- On the checks page, when you edit the hours, it does not stay.
- Paytrack seems to always have a problem connecting to Flica with updated schedule the various months becomes unavailable and can't go back to review pay for missing month.
- My per diem is not what is listed. We don't have lead pay, it won't let me cut my guarantee in half.
- At first I wasn't getting the App to do certain things to calculate my income accurately, so I thought .
- I can't log in, the password reset function is not working, and there doesn't seem to be any way to contact customer support.

- Literally every refresh the amount will change for the previous months past .
- The app is not user friendly and does not sync up lead pay correctly. It needs to reflect what flica has as far as lead hours and pay. There also needs to be a way to reset the month to the original pay report.
- It says that you can add up to 4 pairings manually for free just by tapping of the calendar but it doesn't work. Also, I contacted support for my account to be deleted but they never deleted my account.
- It gives you the option to have your trips added to your schedule automatically my pulling down on the screen but it never works!!
- Asked for support on using the app never received an answer.
- It tells you to hit the download button to download your schedule, but I don't see a download button 😡😡😡
