# My Shift Planner vs TapShift

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Shift Planner at 97% against TapShift's 15%. My Shift Planner also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 3). TapShift's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Shift Planner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and TapShift sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
