Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: P at free against Work Log's free with in-app purchases. P also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 16.6). Work Log's advantage is ratings volume (817 vs 10) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
