# Shifter vs Sheefts

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Sheefts at 100% against Shifter's 0%. Sheefts also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Shifter's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (18 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shifter sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Sheefts sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shifter holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shifter has 18 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Shifter's written reviews are positive against 100% of Sheefts's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
