# The Tapping Solution vs SHIFT

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SHIFT at none against The Tapping Solution's 12. SHIFT also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 85%). The Tapping Solution's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 10) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Tapping Solution sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. SHIFT asks for nothing beyond the download.

SHIFT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Tapping Solution has 24K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of The Tapping Solution's written reviews are positive against 100% of SHIFT's.

The Tapping Solution ships an update every 3 weeks, SHIFT weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
