Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Bridge holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bridge has 1.7K ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of MakeShift for Employees's written reviews are positive against 35% of Bridge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
