# Sked vs Supershift

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Supershift at 96% against Sked's 50%. Supershift also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Sked's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Supershift holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Supershift has 5.5K ratings behind it against 164, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Sked's written reviews are positive against 96% of Supershift's.

Sked ships an update every 2 months, Supershift every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
