The clearest difference is rating: ShiftOne at 4.7 against PayDayPortal's 1.9. ShiftOne also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 27%) and ratings volume (3K vs 183). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ShiftOne holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShiftOne has 3K ratings behind it against 183, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 58% of ShiftOne's written reviews are positive against 27% of PayDayPortal's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
