Competitor: WeChat Work<br />
While relatively high-ranking in the Apple China App Store’s “Business” category,<br />
WeChat Work hasn’t achieved DingTalk’s scale. Earlier this month, Tencent said the<br />
three-year-old app had 1.5 million companies registered in its ecosystem, compared to<br />
Alibaba’s self-reported 7 million.<br />
It does offer options for employees to apply for business trips and reimbursement,<br />
similar to DingTalk. When clicking into tabs such as “approval,” the resulting interface<br />
loads as a mini-program, with a slight lag time.<br />
WeChat Work’s main advantage is its connection to its more social counterpart. Upon<br />
download, users are given the option to log in using WeChat accounts and to<br />
automatically connect with existing friends. <strong>The</strong>y can also link an enterprise account to<br />
WeChat, using the work application to chat directly across apps.<br />
<strong>The</strong> app’s overall design remains somewhat clunky, however, and it’s missing some of<br />
the functionality of DingTalk. Perhaps for that reason, its ratings across Apple and<br />
Android app stores (3.7) are close to a full point lower than those of both DingTalk (4.5)<br />
and Feishu (4.5), according to Qimai.<br />
In order to apply for<br />
reimbursement, users<br />
must enter a miniprogram<br />
interface to<br />
find an online form.<br />
