Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Shift Calendar & Work Schedule at 4.8 against Work's 2.5. Shift Calendar & Work Schedule also leads on ratings volume (104 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Work's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Shift Calendar & Work Schedule holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shift Calendar & Work Schedule has 104 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Work's written reviews are positive against 75% of Shift Calendar & Work Schedule's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Work ships an update every 4 months, Shift Calendar & Work Schedule every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
