# My Shift Planner vs Timegate+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Shift Planner at 97% against Timegate+'s 6%. My Shift Planner also leads on ratings volume (3.4K vs 2). Timegate+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My Shift Planner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Timegate+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Timegate+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Shift Planner has 3.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of My Shift Planner's written reviews are positive against 6% of Timegate+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Shift Planner ships an update monthly, Timegate+ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
