Shiftbase vs StaffAny (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Shiftbase if

• Fits if you pay surcharges for nights, Sundays and public holidays and run payroll through Nmbrs, AFAS or DATEV
• Works for teams of up to 15 who want a free rota instead of a spreadsheet

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you pay in dollars, as prices are in euros or pounds only
• Tight if you stay free and need clock-ins, as the free plan only takes typed hours and has 1 department
• Pricey if you need several integrations, since App Center+ is €20 a month on top outside Enterprise
• Watch out: each staff member past the plan's count adds €3.60 to €5.40 a month, and labor targets need Premium
• Skip it if you might cancel early, as yearly plans are paid up front with no refund and monthly plans need a month's notice

Pick StaffAny if

• Fits if you run a restaurant or cafe and want rotas, a clock and timesheets together
• Works for businesses that bill in Singapore dollars

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you have over 10 staff and want the Start Up plan, which stops there
• Not for you if you need a plan price before you talk to them
• Pricey if you add extras: PayrollAny is $6 a user a month and EngageAny $5
• Watch out: reports are $299 each and SMS is $0.20 each

Shiftbase

Drag-and-drop scheduling

Shifts are dragged onto employees, staff share availability, swap shifts and claim open ones, and Premium adds skill-based scheduling, required shifts and a flexpool.

Clock-in and kiosks

From Basic, staff clock in on mobile, desktop or a shared tablet kiosk; Premium allows unlimited kiosks and limits clock-ins to a GPS radius.

Absence and leave

Leave requests, approvals, sickness and balances are handled in the app, with surcharges for Sundays, public holidays and, on Premium, night rates.

Labor cost targets

Premium sets labor cost or hours budgets per team and day, shows whether the schedule stays inside them, and has a KPI dashboard and AI revenue forecasts.

Payroll export

Contract versus worked hours, surcharges and leave payouts export as Excel or CSV, or go to payroll systems such as Nmbrs, AFAS and DATEV through the App Center.

Employee records and news

One profile per person with contact and emergency details, plus news messages to the whole team; the HR Pro add-on generates and e-signs contracts.

StaffAny
