# Setgraph vs Shift

The clearest difference is ads: Shift at none against Setgraph's shown. Shift also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (77% vs 67%). Setgraph's advantage is ratings volume (6.1K vs 57) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Setgraph sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Shift sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Setgraph holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Setgraph has 6.1K ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Setgraph's written reviews are positive against 77% of Shift's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Setgraph ships an update every 3 weeks, Shift every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 4, 2026 respectively.
