Question 1

What makes medishift different from Papershift?

Accepted Answer

medishift was built specifically for medical practices and MVZs. The AI assistant KIRA creates ready-to-use schedules in under two minutes by voice command. On top of that you get in-app shift swaps with rule checking, a complete change log, push notifications, reliable overtime tracking and an interface in 6 languages. Papershift targets all industries and does not offer AI-powered scheduling.

Question 2

How difficult is it to switch from Papershift to medishift?

Accepted Answer

Switching typically takes less than a day. You export your data from Papershift, set up medishift and get started right away. Our team guides you through every step, free of charge and with no obligation.

Question 3

How does medishift's pricing compare to Papershift?

Accepted Answer

medishift is permanently free for small teams of up to 10 employees. Papershift charges per employee (from €4/month) plus a mandatory €39/month support fee, so even a 10-person team pays at least €79/month. Above 10 employees, medishift Plus is €39 a month billed annually (€49 billed monthly) as a flat rate for the whole team, with no separate support fee.

Can I transfer my existing data from Papershift?

Question 5

Does my team need training to use medishift?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. The interface is designed to be intuitive and KIRA guides your team step by step through the scheduling process. Most practices are productive within an hour, no training needed.

Question 6

Does Papershift have AI scheduling?

Accepted Answer

Papershift offers an AI chat for HR-related questions, but it does not generate schedules automatically. medishift's KIRA, on the other hand, is a scheduling AI: say 'fill CW 25 like last week, but without Ms. Meier' and KIRA creates a complete proposal with rule checks, conflict resolution and team notifications.

Question 7

Why does Papershift charge a mandatory support fee?

Accepted Answer

Papershift's pricing includes a mandatory Basic Support add-on of €39 per month on top of per-employee costs. medishift bundles support into the plan price from Plus upwards, with no separate support fee.

Can I try medishift for free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Free plan is permanently free for up to 10 employees, with no credit card and no time limit. Papershift only offers a 14-day trial. For larger teams you can book a no-obligation 30-minute demo and try medishift at your own pace.

Question 9

Can I run medishift and Papershift side by side?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many practices run both systems in parallel for one to two weeks to ease into the transition. You pay nothing extra on medishift during that time because the Free plan runs indefinitely.

Question 10
