Shift Reviews in June 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Can't live without Shift. PERIOD!

I am a paid user of Shift and cannot imagine living without it. I have been using it for several years and it keeps getting better and better. The most important aspect of Shift is how it helps me save time. Rather than jump from tab to tab to tab, Shift keeps everything in one place and helps me to increase my productivity. I am constantly moving between Google accounts and it is a seamless process with Shift. It is also a lifesaver. There are several days that Shift is the only ...

Shift has categorically changed my work…

Shift has categorically changed my work flow! I was introduced to Shift by a friend who couldn't stop raving about seeing efficiencies and improvements to her day-to-day work. What I love about Shift is it takes all the chaos of apps and profiles, organizes it in an intuitive way that makes my life easier. Would highly recommend, and believe the investment into the premium account is worth it.

Overcharged and unhappy

I like shift, don't get me wrong, but when I bought the yearly plan, I expected it to charge me what they said they would charge me. $99. So when I checked my bank account to find they had actually charged me $140, I was understandably concerned. They need to get on to fixing this.

"No more Chrome tabs for all my email"

What do you like best about Shift? Shift is fast and handles multiple Google accounts like a champ. Best part is they've extended it beyond just Gmail and you can access each accounts Google apps without mixing them up or having to open a new browser.

Nope

A few minutes to setup... ooo, nice UI... then realizing it’s basically a pop-up email client, but only with a long term subscription. Ooo, but they offer a coupon. NOPE not interested. Not only that, it somehow relaunched after closing with ANOTHER coupon... like, “no, human, wait don’t go”. I uninstalled it quick. Great effort guys, looked promising. but you come off Creepy, weirdly.

This is the third time I give Shift try, and it still pretty aweful.

This is the third time I give Shift a try over the past couple of years. It has been improving a lot but still super buggy. Free account is down to merely two email accounts, which is pretty silly to start with. Still, many useful extensions are missing. In-built web browser is super laggy, gets stuck more often than not. I got a 1-week trial (1 week???) to test it out.. after which email and action spam came into action. I tried to use different apps i currently use from shift and they ...

Great customer service

Good service

Good service, can't complain.

Prepare to be squeezed like lime

Honestly, you can’t even try this properly before they start slamming your work limits and notifications to ‘upgrade’ My ‘free trial’ allowed me to add 2 Measly email accounts. Woo! (Sarcasm). That’s not a time saving tool. I’d consider buying this if they actually offered some type of useable trial. And didn’t spam my email to hell in the process

Shift helps you be more organized than ever

Having everything in one place helps me stay organized. I started using Shift recently, and ironically, I feel that with Shift I started to be more organized while working from home than at the office without it.
