Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: BidSling at free against WorkQuote's free with in-app purchases. BidSling also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). WorkQuote's advantage is ratings volume (20 vs 1) and device support. On price, rating and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. WorkQuote sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per month and BidSling sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $49.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for WorkQuote against 5.0 for BidSling. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkQuote has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
