# Ento Employee vs Xero Me

The clearest difference is monetization model: Ento Employee at free against Xero Me's free with in-app purchases. Ento Employee also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). Xero Me's advantage is ratings volume (109 vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Ento Employee holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xero Me has 109 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Ento Employee's written reviews are positive against 38% of Xero Me's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Ento Employee ships an update every 3 months, Xero Me fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
