Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Lookout for Work holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lookout for Work has 2.8K ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 25% of Lookout for Work's written reviews are positive against 36% of Genea Mobile Access's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 13, 2026 respectively.
