Bizimply vs RotaCloud (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Bizimply if

• Fits if you run several pubs or shops in the UK or Ireland and want rotas and a clock together
• Works for managers who want labor cost shown against sales

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a price list, as there is none
• Not for you if you need a free plan or trial, because neither is listed
• Watch out: payment is by Direct Debit and the annual discount has no figure
• Watch out: it is written for UK and Irish businesses, and only two integrations are listed

Pick RotaCloud if

• Fits if you run a UK care home, pub or shop and plan rotas weekly
• Works for teams already paying staff through Sage, Staffology or PayCaptain

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you pay in dollars, as prices are in pounds only
• Pricey if you need clocking in, since Time & Attendance costs extra at every size, £18 a month at 11 to 20 staff
• Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's only the 30-day trial
• Watch out: text message alerts are another add-on, £8 a month at 11 to 20 staff, and over 500 employees means a custom quote
• Tight if you want labor forecasting or budget caps, which need Pro at £60 a month for 11 to 20 staff

Rota scheduling and forecasting

Costed rotas built around forecast demand, with labor cost shown against sales across sites.

Time and attendance

Staff clock in on a wall-mounted tablet with a PIN and photo capture, or with GPS in the mobile app.

Leave and employee records

Time-off requests, certification and training tracking, contracts and central personnel records.

Employee app

The MyZimply app lets staff view their rota, request holidays, swap shifts and message colleagues.

Payroll-ready exports

Hours export to payroll, and the vendor also sells its own Bizimply Payroll product.

RotaCloud

Drag-and-drop rotas

Rotas are built by drag and drop with templates and copying tools across unlimited sites and departments, and shared by email and push notifications.

Availability and shift swaps

Staff set recurring availability patterns, swap shifts and check the rota in the free iOS and Android apps.

Labor cost control

Daily, weekly and monthly labor costs show while the rota is planned; Pro adds labor forecasting as a share of sales and budget caps.

Holiday and absence

Holiday requests, time off in lieu and sickness are tracked beside the rota, and Pro lets managers set rules for when leave can be requested.

Clocking in and timesheets

With the Time & Attendance add-on, staff clock in on their phones within a geofence or at a fixed terminal, and timesheets, lateness flags and payroll exports follow.

Payroll, HR and care integrations

Connects to Sage, PayCaptain and Staffology payroll, Breathe and People HR, calendar apps, Zapier and care management systems.
