Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bizzy at 100% against NurseGrid Nurse Shift Calendar's 62%. Bizzy also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). NurseGrid Nurse Shift Calendar's advantage is ratings volume (153K vs 21) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

NurseGrid Nurse Shift Calendar holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NurseGrid Nurse Shift Calendar has 153K ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of NurseGrid Nurse Shift Calendar's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bizzy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

NurseGrid Nurse Shift Calendar ships an update fortnightly, Bizzy every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
