How we grade them
| 2.4GPAFindmyshiftFair | 2.0GPAShiftieFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BStarter is $24 a team a month billed yearly ($286 a year) for up to 20 employees, so 15 staff pay $24. For a team that size that's in the cheapest quarter of this category. The catch is one manager per team. | C£2.75 an employee a month, billed monthly with no yearly plan, so 15 staff cost £41.25 a month. Prices are in pounds only. That's above the middle of this category for a team that size, though it buys every feature. |
| Free plan and trial | CFree forever for one team of up to 5 employees and 1 manager, with 1 week of forward planning, which most shift teams will outgrow. A 3-month trial of everything needs no card. | CNo free plan, but a 28-day trial with no card details needed. Enough to run a month of real rotas before you pay. |
| Features | CDrag-and-drop rotas with templates, a free time clock, timesheets, pay worked out from rates, cost totals as you build, reminders and time off. Equipment and vehicles schedule too. But nothing on record lets staff swap or pick up shifts. | CRota templates, open shifts, swaps with conflict checks, GPS-limited clock-ins, timesheets, leave and documents, all on one plan. The gap the listing names is payroll: there's no payroll connection, only a timesheet export. |
| Ease of use | CWe have no App Store rating on record for it. The rota itself is point and click, but staff, rates and templates need setting up first. | CNo App Store rating to go on, since there's no store app. Staff save the web app to their home screen, and a rota still needs teams, roles and templates set up first. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Xero, Slack, Square, Lightspeed, BambooHR, Google Workspace and monday.com. No desktop app. | CWeb only, as a progressive web app, with no native phone or desktop app. Its connections are UK ticketing, till and vetting tools such as DigiTickets and ICRTouch, and API access is by request. |
| Best for | flat-priced rotas run by one manager | UK venues that staff to bookings |

- Shifts are placed by point and click, drag and drop, or cut, copy and paste, with templates for repeating patterns. Machines, vehicles and other facilities can be scheduled too.
- Free time clock station
- A web-based time clock records when staff are on site, with location reporting and geofencing to check where people clock in.
- Timesheets and payroll
- Staff submit the hours they actually worked for approval, and payroll is worked out from hourly rates, rate exceptions, day rates and salaries, then exported.
- Real-time cost reports
- Hours, shifts and pay for each employee are totalled as the schedule is built, without leaving the rota.
- Reminders and notice board
- Automatic shift reminders and change notices go out by email, push, Slack or text, and a notice board holds team conversations.
- Time off and allowances
- Employees request time off online, managers track allowances, and vacations and sick leave can be imported from other systems through iCal feeds.
Shiftie
- Rota building
- Shifts are added by drag and drop or from shift and schedule templates, with open shifts staff can volunteer for and suggestions for who to assign.
- Swaps and conflict checks
- Staff can swap shifts and acknowledge new ones, and conflict detection flags clashes in the rota, which can be split by team, role or location.
- Clock-in with GPS limits
- Staff clock in on their phones or at a shared on-site portal, with optional GPS restrictions, and managers see who is on site at any moment.
- Timesheets for payroll
- Clock-ins create timesheet entries automatically, with auto-approval and auto clock-out settings, and approved timesheets export for payroll.
- Leave, absence and documents
- Holiday requests and allowances, absence tracking, an employee directory and stored documents such as policies and personal records.
- Booking-led scheduling
- Integrations with DigiTickets, TrekkSoft and ICRTouch bring pre-booked visitor numbers or till sales into the rota so staffing can follow demand.
