Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Turnista at none against Work Shift Calendar's shown. Turnista also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Work Shift Calendar's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
