# WorkTime vs Shiftify

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.

Both are free to download. WorkTime sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Shiftify sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shiftify holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkTime has 4.7K ratings behind it against 457, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 59% of WorkTime's written reviews are positive against 94% of Shiftify's.

WorkTime ships an update every 3 weeks, Shiftify every 6 days. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
