ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Payroll by Nethris holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Push Employee has 38 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 1% of Payroll by Nethris's written reviews are positive against 22% of Push Employee's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Payroll by Nethris ships an update every 3 months, Push Employee every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
