A 22:00โ06:00 shift is 8 hours: through midnight, through daylight saving, every time. โข Real pay math. Overtime, night, weekend and holiday multipliers; paid and unpaid breaks; tips, bonuses and deductions; a fair "higher rate wins" rule. โข Paid abroad, thinking in your own money? Ora converts your earnings at the real daily ECB rate. โข A timesheet your boss can't argue with: a clean PDF, plus CSV for your own spreadsheet. โข See it at a glance: home and lock screen widgets, and a Live Activity that watches your shift earn. ONE PRICE, ONCE No subscription. No ads. No account. Ora is free to log every shift, forever. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited jobs, all the pay rules, currency conversion, exports, widgets and iCloud sync, and it's shared with your family.

PMUdesk

PMUdesk is a business tool built specifically for permanent makeup (PMU) artists - microblading, lip blush, powder brows, and beyond. No more juggling WhatsApp threads, Instagram DMs, and paper client cards. PMUdesk brings everything into one place, designed around how PMU studios actually work. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Client cards - contact info, skin type, contraindications, and full treatment history for every client - Pigment formulas - record brand, shade, ratios, and notes for every treatment, so you can replicate results - Before/after photos - attach treatment photos directly to each client record - Booking with deposit - manage your appointment calendar and reduce no-shows - Healing follow-ups - automatic check-ins at day 3, day 7, 6 weeks, and 12 months - Digital consent forms - collect and store client consent electronically BUILT FOR PMU PROFESSIONALS PMUdesk isn't a generic salon app - every feature is built around the specific workflow of permanent makeup treatments: contraindication tracking, pigment formula records, and long healing timelines that other booking tools don't account for. Your studio's data stays yours - each studio's client records are kept fully separate and secure. PMUdesk is currently available in Serbian and English.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PMUdesk at none against Ora's 1. PMUdesk also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
