Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shift Work Calendar Planner at 95% against TimeTree's 81%. Shift Work Calendar Planner also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). TimeTree's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and ratings volume (92K vs 9.5K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shift Work Calendar Planner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.59 per month and TimeTree sells 27 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TimeTree holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TimeTree has 92K ratings behind it against 9.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 95% of Shift Work Calendar Planner's written reviews are positive against 81% of TimeTree's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Shift Work Calendar Planner ships an update fortnightly, TimeTree weekly. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
