## Reviews

### "Combine all your mail clients/accounts/tabs into one app" — 5.0/5

> **Matt** | *19 December 2024* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I've been a Shift user since 2018, when I made the jump from Outlook, macOS Mail and Thunderbird for several different accounts. Shift is awesome at consolidating all these accounts, creating unified calendars, integrating with other apps and making switching between accounts a breeze. It's very intuitive to implement. I looked into replacing Shift at once stage, reviewing a number of different open source or cheaper alternatives, but none came close. Support is always responsive and super helpful. I use Shift on a daily basis. I no longer need to maintain multiple email clients, browsers and other applications. With Shift's integration it makes working a breeze.
> 
> **Cons**: The cost has gone up over the past six years, but in return there is a lot of decent functionality that has been added in return.
> 
> I love Shift and will probably never use any other client\!

### "Optimize your workflow with Shift" — 5.0/5

> **Norman** | *16 July 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I use Shift every day as it helps organize all my tools and keeps everything in one place - so a lot less app switching. Overall it keeps me focused and efficient.
> 
> **Cons**: In some rare cases, integrated apps that are web based are missing some behaviours that the native apps have. Overall though these tend to be minor and rarely occur.
> 
> I have been using Shift since it launched and have used it daily. It’s by far my most used app as all my main tools I use ever day are integrated.

### "Shift Is The Best All In One Software Productivity Solution" — 5.0/5

> **Jordan** | *16 January 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: the ability to have all my apps installed, logged in and open in one piece of software instead of having multiple apps open in the background slowing down my Mac. I also liked you can have multiple accounts logged into the same app and split between work/personal workspaces. So no need to be logging in and out of accounts all the time.
> 
> **Cons**: Not much in communication of what new apps/software have been added or a timeline of upcoming features. Most software has a public roadmap these days.
> 
> With one click I can switch back and forth as needed and Shift remembers where I was when I switch between apps. Integration is easy, just log in once and Shift always remembers which account is which. So if I have two Google Drives for example (personal and work) my work one will always be logged into my work profile and personal always logged in on my personal. No need to be logging in and out constantly.

### "So many bugs and no help from customer service" — 1.0/5

> **Michael** | *04 June 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to be on top of many email boxes at the same time.  Being able to have other apps attached to workspaces.
> 
> **Cons**: Bugs, so many bugs.  The most recent issue is it making all ClickUp links in Gmail unusable.  It is the only browser that has this issue.
> 
> For the cost, very poor. For a browser that actually has a cost, it should function better than free browsers.

### "Shift is a Lifesaver if you have multiple emails and calendars" — 5.0/5

> **Jen** | *30 June 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use. Easily see multiple emails, unread email count, unified calendar, all without having multiple browsers open.  Plus, having access to various apps under the different logins on workspaces is a life save.
> 
> **Cons**: Really, I don' t have any cons.  Product is easy to use and intuitive and have no cons or suggestions for the softwar.
> 
> We have used Shift over 2 years, and honestly could not live without it at this point. My work as a contractor and white label, this software is essential to my productivity and staying on top of communications, calendar, etc.
