Verdict
The clearest difference is price: RadShifts at Free against iRadTech's $24.99. RadShifts also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). iRadTech's advantage is ratings volume (53 vs 4) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
