Your rider in. Your desk's own show file out. Your multitrack through the desk's processing before you get there. load·in is built by a touring FOH and monitor engineer for the work before soundcheck. Type a list, paste a rider, snap a photo of one, or open your console's own file — and get a labelled input list with mic/DI and stereo links, a stage plot, PDF documents, DAW templates and a native file your desk loads. Five tabs, one show — Show, List, Strip, Stage, and File. Add a drum kit and it is in the list, the strip, and on the plot together. SOUNDCHECK Open a multitrack (WAV stems or a zip) and hear it through the desk file's own gates, compressors, EQ and sends, with solo, mute, faders, meters and a spectrum, on the phone. One free soundcheck for everyone; included with your first desk. CONSOLE WORKFLOWS Prepare files for supported workflows across Behringer X32, WING and X-Air; Midas M32 and HD96; Yamaha CL/QL, DM3, DM5, DM7, TF and RIVAGE PM; DiGiCo SD and Quantum; Allen & Heath SQ and dLive; Avid VENUE S6L; Soundcraft Si Expression and Vi; PreSonus StudioLive. New desks arrive in regular updates: the Yamaha TF in 1.5.9, the DM5 and DM5 Compact, and the Midas HD96, Soundcraft Si Expression and Soundcraft Vi1000 in this version. Every export preview shows what the selected workflow writes and leaves out. Console files never receive a watermark or marketing data. Preamp gain always stays exactly as set at the desk — load·in never touches it. Phantom power (48V) is written only when you switch it on or off yourself, on desks where that's proven; translating between desks never moves it on its own. Imported console files can vary by desk model, editor version, firmware and source file; an import may not preserve every setting across desks or formats. Always verify an exported file in the official editor or on the target desk before show use. THE STRIP Open a channel's Filter, EQ, Gate and Comp workspace from its processing badges, with modelled curves and instrument presets. The export preview is the source of truth for which Strip data a workflow includes. DAW TEMPLATES Create pre-labelled templates for Reaper, Ableton Live, Adobe Audition, Cubase/Nuendo and Ardour/Mixbus from the same input list. PROJECTS AND DOCUMENTS • Save and reopen portable .show project files • Password-protect a .show file with sensitive rider or personal information • Export PDF, PNG and CSV documents • Plot editing, documents and .show projects work offline; account, purchase, sharing, DAW export and console-file import/export require a connection • 26 languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Swedish, Polish, Turkish, Norwegian, Danish, Czech, Ukrainian, Thai, Indonesian, Finnish, Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, Vietnamese, Malay and Hindi FREE, AND YOUR DESK The app is free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: load·in at 15.0 against Shipfolio's 17.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
