# My Shift Planner vs Table Tailor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Shift Planner at 97% against Table Tailor's 50%. My Shift Planner also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.9) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 7). Table Tailor's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, 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 Table Tailor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

My Shift Planner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Shift Planner has 3.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
