# WorkTime vs Fire Shift Calendar

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WorkTime at 59% against Fire Shift Calendar's 0%. WorkTime also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 16). Fire Shift Calendar's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkTime sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Fire Shift Calendar sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
