Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Workforce Australia at 3.8 against PinnBook's 1.0. Workforce Australia also leads on ratings volume (17 vs 1). PinnBook's advantage is review sentiment (22% vs 6%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15). On price, update cadence, ads 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Workforce Australia holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Workforce Australia has 17 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Workforce Australia's written reviews are positive against 22% of PinnBook's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Workforce Australia ships an update every 3 months, PinnBook every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 19, 2026 respectively.
