A small conflict is a big pricing clue.
The pricing card visible on 30 Aug 2026 says Free includes 5 Spaces and 10 apps per Space, while the FAQ answer on the same official page says Free supports up to 2 Spaces with 5 apps each. We preserve both statements instead of silently choosing one. Check the current page, account UI or checkout before relying on a specific limit.
03 / BILLING EDGES
Trial language, card requirements, tax treatment and cancellation timing can matter more than the headline amount. Here is what the public sources confirm—and what they do not.
Shift says you can download Mac or Windows without a credit card. Upgrading Advanced requires an account and payment details.
A third-party Capterra listing shows “Free trial”, but the current official page does not state a trial duration. Treat the duration as unconfirmed until Shift shows it for your account.
The checked official cards show USD. No public tax or regional conversion rule was visible, so the final checkout may differ by location, currency and applicable taxes.
Shift’s FAQ says a full refund can be requested within 14 days of the original purchase or renewal. Use Account Portal → Subscriptions → Request Refund or contact support; the account returns to Basic/free and the subscription is cancelled.
The FAQ says an approved refund returns to the original card in 5–10 business days. Keep the request and confirmation for your records.
Teams is $199.99 USD per user each year in the current support article. Seats added during the term are prorated; mid-term reductions are handled case by case.
03 / BILLING EDGES
Capterra’s visible $149/year listing is older than the current official $199.99 annual Advanced price. It is useful as a stale-market signal, not as a quote. Do not compare the two as if they were the same date or contract.
04 / COST + SCENARIO DECISION
Shift and Tabbit solve different browser problems. This comparison avoids invented prices and keeps the decision anchored to the job you need done.
| Decision lens | Shift Browser | Tabbit Browser |
|---|---|---|
| 01Core value | A customizable desktop around apps, accounts and Spaces. | An AI-native browser for research, summaries and browser actions. |
| 02Workspace | Builder, app integrations, Spaces and account contexts. | Tabs, groups and workspaces that keep source context with the task. |
| 03Research cost | Organize your sources and chosen tools in one browser desk. | Deep Research can search, read and structure findings beside the page. |
| 04Reading | Use the browser and extensions you choose for reading. | Ask a side panel to summarize while the source stays visible. |
| 05Execution | Official materials emphasize organization and integrations. | Agent can read pages, extract data, fill forms and continue multi-step workflows. |
| 06Best fit | You want a polished app-and-space hub. | You want AI help to move a research or repetitive web task forward. |
No claim here that Tabbit is cheaper than Shift. Tabbit’s current price and download details should be checked in Tabbit’s own official flow.
05 / TABBIT WORKFLOWS
A plan comparison is useful only when it maps to the work. These real Tabbit UI captures show the two moments where an AI browser can change the time cost: reading and acting.
READ / VERIFY
Tabbit’s side panel can summarize a long page while the original stays visible. You can check the answer against the source before reusing it.
ACT / REPEAT
Agent mode can read a page, extract information, fill forms and continue a multi-step web task with execution steps visible beside the site.
Tabbit is a separate product. This page uses Tabbit’s shared official download flow and does not insert a guessed price or a “cheaper” claim.
06 / PRICING FAQ
On the Shift pricing page checked 30 Aug 2026, Advanced is shown as $19.99 USD monthly or $199.99 USD annually. Verify the live page and checkout because prices, taxes and regional currency can change.
Yes. Shift shows Free at $0 forever, with feature limits. The visible pricing card says 5 Spaces and 10 apps per Space, while an FAQ answer on the same page says 2 Spaces and 5 apps each. Confirm the limit in the current account context.
Yes. Shift’s current Teams support article says $199.99 USD per user each year, with one annual renewal date for the team. New seats added mid-year are prorated.
The displayed math is about $40 less on the annual rail: $19.99 × 12 = $239.88 versus $199.99 annually, a $39.89 difference before tax. Shift labels it “Save $40”.
Capterra lists a free trial, but Shift’s current public pricing page does not state a duration. Do not assume a number; check what Shift presents for your account.
No. Shift says Mac and Windows downloads are available without a credit card. A payment method is needed when upgrading to Advanced.
Shift’s FAQ says you can request a full refund within 14 days of the original purchase or renewal. Use Account Portal → Subscriptions → Request Refund or contact support. An approved refund returns the account to Basic/free and usually goes back to the original card in 5–10 business days.
The public page checked here displays USD but does not publish a universal tax or regional conversion rule. Treat the card as a pre-checkout reference and verify the final total for your location.
This page does not make that claim. Tabbit is a separate AI browser with a different workflow; use the official Tabbit download flow and decide from the work you need to complete.
07 / NEXT MOVE
If Shift’s Spaces and app hub fit your setup, verify its live terms. If the task is research, summarization or repeatable browser work, try Tabbit from its official download flow.
