# My Shift Planner vs FIFO Clock

My Shift Planner and FIFO Clock both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 97% of My Shift Planner's written reviews are positive against 56% of FIFO Clock's. My Shift Planner also leads on ratings volume (3.6K vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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 FIFO Clock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FIFO Clock 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 3.6K ratings behind it against 1, 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 56% of FIFO Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

My Shift Planner ships an update every 2 weeks, FIFO Clock every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
