Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Shiftify at 94% against TimeKeeper's 43%. Shiftify also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (457 vs 39). TimeKeeper's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
