# WorkHours vs ShiftBuddy

The clearest difference is ratings volume: WorkHours at 1.2K against ShiftBuddy's 1. WorkHours also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.2). ShiftBuddy's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WorkHours sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and ShiftBuddy sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ShiftBuddy holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WorkHours has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
