Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hippo Education at 4.6 against Shift Admin's 3.3. Hippo Education also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 71). Shift Admin's advantage is review sentiment (35% vs 21%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Hippo Education holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hippo Education has 1.3K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 35% of Shift Admin's written reviews are positive against 21% of Hippo Education's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shift Admin ships an update every 2 months, Hippo Education fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
