Overtime and pay tracking compared
Two of these track overtime. This one does not, and it is worth being plain about which problem each of them is solving.
| Feature | Supershift | My Shift Planner | BlueShifts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Overtime totals | Overtime in the reports, alongside hours per shift type | Automatic overtime against weekly and monthly thresholds | No — BlueShifts does not track overtime |

| Shift differentials | In the reports | Custom rates per shift type | Not stated |
| Off-duty job pay | Not stated as such; a second job can be another calendar | Not stated as such; a second rota can be another calendar | Each job under the employer who hired you, with the hours, the rate paid, the miles |
| Has the money arrived | Not stated | Not stated | Marked paid or unpaid, per job, per employer |
| Comp time banked | Not stated | Not stated | No — none of the three tracks a comp time bank |
BlueShifts. Plan Your Year. Own Your Time.
The shift calendar built for your rotation, off-duty work, and life on and off the clock.
Everything below is on your phone in a couple of minutes: the rotation, the off-duty work, and what it earned you.
What the other two do, and they do it properly
Supershift reports earnings, shift differentials, hours per shift type, overtime and shift counts, and its listing puts the purpose plainly: checking a payroll cheque. My Shift Planner added automatic overtime calculation against weekly and monthly thresholds, with work time reports on top. If a single overtime figure is what you want, both produce one and BlueShifts does not.
What neither of them is doing
Both work forward from a rate you type in. That gives you an estimate of what the hours ought to be worth. It is not a record of what you were actually paid, and on this job the gap between those two is where the money goes missing — a detail invoiced in March and paid in June, a rate that was quoted at one number and paid at another, mileage nobody reimbursed.
What BlueShifts does instead
It keeps the other half of the week. Each off-duty job sits under the employer who hired you, with the hours you worked, what it paid, the miles, and whether the money has arrived. When you need to prove it, that comes out as a PDF.
So the honest split: for overtime on your regular schedule, use theirs. For knowing which of six employers still owes you, there is nothing in either of them that does it.
From the Supershift and My Shift Planner App Store listings, their Google Play listings, and My Shift Planner's own FAQ and support pages, read 6 September 2026. Where a listing does not mention something, this page says not stated rather than no.
