Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Supershift at 96% against WorkTime's 59%. Supershift also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). WorkTime's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
