# Supershift vs TapShift

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Supershift at 96% against TapShift's 15%. Supershift also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (5.7K vs 3). TapShift's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Supershift sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and TapShift sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Supershift holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Supershift has 5.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 96% of Supershift's written reviews are positive against 15% of TapShift's.

Supershift ships an update weekly, TapShift every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
