# WorkwiseCompass vs NurseRates

The clearest difference is rating: NurseRates at 5.0 against WorkwiseCompass's 1.5. NurseRates also leads on iOS requirement (14.0.0 vs 16.4). WorkwiseCompass's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (20 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

NurseRates holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkwiseCompass has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
