Side-by-side

Where Paycheck: Paystub Generator wins

It makes the pay stub itself. The listing says you can “create, customize, and download pay stubs in minutes,” pick from more than 30 templates, and add your company logo. You can download the stub as a PDF or email it straight from the app. WorkLogs44’s listing mentions neither pay stubs nor export, so don’t count on it for a document to hand a worker.

Your first stub is free. The listing says “YOUR FIRST PAY STUB IS FREE,” and you can edit and correct it at no extra cost. The App Store lists no in-app purchases for the app. So if one stub is all you need, you pay nothing. WorkLogs44’s listing does not say what its free edition includes.

A long track record. Paycheck: Paystub Generator has been on the App Store since 2020 and holds a 4.9 average from about 3,700 US ratings. WorkLogs44 arrived in 2026 and has no ratings yet.

Reviewers from 2020 to 2025 say it is quick and easy to use. One 2025 review says “You can really create a pay stub in less than 5 minutes.”

Batch stubs, an address book, and web access. Per its description, it can generate “up to 20 pay stubs at once for multiple employees,” keeps an address book for quick employee entry, and syncs between mobile and web. It also names freelancers, independent contractors, and self-employed people as users, not only employers.

Where WorkLogs44 wins

It shows what the payroll costs you, not only the worker’s stub. Paycheck: Paystub Generator’s listing names federal tax, state tax, FICA, and YTD totals, but no employer-side taxes. WorkLogs44 adds the employer’s Social Security match at 6.2% up to the federal wage base, the Medicare match at 1.45%, FUTA at 0.6% on the first $7,000, and SUTA at the rate and wage base you enter.

You can also add benefits and workers’ comp as flat amounts or a percentage of gross.

More detail on the withholding inputs. Paycheck: Paystub Generator’s listing does not mention W-4 inputs, hourly pay, or pay frequencies, and does not say whether its custom deductions come out before or after tax.

WorkLogs44 takes pre-2020 and post-2020 W-4s, eight pay frequencies, hourly or salary pay, and overtime at a multiplier you set. It also keeps pre-tax deductions like a traditional 401(k) or HSA apart from post-tax ones like Roth accounts and garnishments.

No account, and it works offline. Paycheck: Paystub Generator syncs between mobile and web and added two-factor sign-in in July 2023, so it uses an account. WorkLogs44 needs no account, works offline, and keeps its calculations on your device. Both privacy labels declare no data used to track you.
