Shiftura vs. When I Work

When I Work is a popular scheduling tool. Shiftura is optimized for self‑serve swaps with manager approvals, fairness metrics, and fast setup for SMB hourly teams.

This page is based on general product knowledge; always verify current pricing/features on the vendor website.

Shiftura is best when…

  • Swaps are frequent and you want a marketplace workflow (offer → claim → approve).
  • You want fairness visibility (nights/weekends/hours).
  • You want managers to spend less time coordinating coverage.

When I Work may be best when…

  • You want a conventional scheduling tool with a familiar workflow.
  • Your swap volume is low and approvals aren’t a bottleneck.
