Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shine at 100% against Weekit's 0%. Shine also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Weekit's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Shine sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Weekit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Weekit holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Shine's written reviews are positive against 0% of Weekit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shine ships an update every 5 days, Weekit every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
