Features: • Automatic time tracking for max. 20 locations (one included, more via In-App purchase) • Detailed history with every check in and check out • Daily, weekly and monthly summaries • History export as TXT, CSV or PDF to other applications (via In-App purchase) • Calendar export for check ins • Define daily break times • Attendance reminder • Today widget • Map view with all defined locations • Temporary pause tracking • Full control over your data Notes: Mobile data and Wi-Fi should always remain switched on for reliable attendance tracking.

Verdict
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.
