Supershift vs TimeTree

Supershift

• Nurses, firefighters, drivers and other workers on rotating shifts
• Sharing a changing work schedule with family or coworkers
• Checking hours, overtime and pay against a payslip

TimeTree

• Families and couples keeping one shared schedule
• Groups that want to discuss a plan inside the event itself
• Artists, stores and local governments publishing event dates to followers

Supershift

• Exporting shifts to other calendars, PDF export and showing external calendars all need Supershift Pro.
• Shift alarms are marked iOS only on the vendor's site, and Google Play labels the Android app as containing ads.
• The website offers iOS and Android downloads only; the App Store also lets the iPad app run on Macs with an M1 chip or later.
• A Pro purchase made on iOS carries over to Android, or the reverse, only through a Cloud Sync account.

TimeTree

• The free version shows ads; removing them requires Premium.
• Attaching PDFs and other files, the vertical hour-by-hour view and event priority are Premium-only.
• TimeTree notes that Premium pricing varies by region and currency and points buyers to the App Store or Google Play for the exact price.
• The App Store listing covers iPhone, Apple Watch and Apple Vision; computers use the web version rather than a desktop app.

Supershift

Shift templates and rotations

Templates let you enter a work schedule in seconds, with several shifts allowed on one day. A rotation pattern such as 4-on-4-off, DuPont or Pitman can be applied up to 2 years ahead in a single entry.

Calendar sharing

Share a work schedule with family, friends or coworkers so they can check availability and arrange shift swaps.

Hours and pay reports

Reports total hours worked, shift counts, pay and overtime for a week, a month, a year or a custom range. Overtime is worked out from the regular hours you set.

Alarms, widgets and Apple Watch

On iOS a wake-up time can be assigned to each shift type so the right alarm is set from the schedule. Home screen widgets and Apple Watch complications show current and upcoming shifts.

Calendar export and PDF (Pro)

Supershift Pro sends shifts to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook, shows events from external calendars beside shifts, and creates a PDF of the monthly schedule.

Offline use and Cloud Sync

The listings say data is stored on the device and no internet connection is required. An optional Cloud Sync account keeps several devices in step, including across iOS and Android.

TimeTree

Group-based shared calendars

Create a calendar, invite the members and everyone sees the same schedule. You can keep as many calendars as you need, for example one each for family, school and hobbies.

Chat inside events

Each event has its own conversation where members settle details such as time and place, and can post photos.

Memos and to-do lists

Share notes and lists with the members of a calendar, or keep a memo for a plan that has no fixed date yet.

Filters across calendars

View your own plans, family schedules and other calendars together in one view, or use filters to switch between them.

Device calendar sync

Copy events from, or sync with, the other calendars on your device, such as Google Calendar, to get started with existing data.

Public Calendar

Organizations can publish event information to followers' calendars, with scheduled posting and repeating events. TimeTree describes the public feature as free.
