# WorksApp vs Yik Yak

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WorksApp at 75% against Yik Yak's 25%. WorksApp also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Yik Yak's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (52K vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Yik Yak sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. WorksApp asks for nothing beyond the download.

Yik Yak holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Yik Yak has 52K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of WorksApp's written reviews are positive against 25% of Yik Yak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WorksApp ships an update monthly, Yik Yak weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
