Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
OnShift Time holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartLinx Go has 553 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of SmartLinx Go's written reviews are positive against 0% of OnShift Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SmartLinx Go ships an update fortnightly, OnShift Time every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and July 27, 2026 respectively.
