# ShiftMate vs ChaffChing

The clearest difference is update cadence: ChaffChing at every 4 days against ShiftMate's every 3 weeks. ShiftMate's advantage is chart position (#200 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShiftMate sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $10.00 per month and ChaffChing sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ShiftMate ships an update every 3 weeks, ChaffChing every 4 days. Both last shipped on September 9, 2026.
