Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shiftify at 94% against WorkTime's 59%. Shiftify also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). WorkTime's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 457). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
