Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: NurseDash at 65% against OnShift X's 0%. NurseDash also leads on ratings volume (353 vs 4) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.2).

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
OnShift X holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NurseDash has 353 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of NurseDash's written reviews are positive against 0% of OnShift X's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
NurseDash ships an update every 2 months, OnShift X every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
