Rotageek is workforce management software from the UK for retail, hospitality, care homes, manufacturing and similar operators. It builds rotas, forecasts labor demand, records clock-ins, applies pay rules and exports payroll. Customers pick a package that starts with Digital Scheduling and add auto-scheduling, forecasting, labor modelling and insights. - **Category:** Shift Scheduling - **Made by:** Rotageek Ltd - **Website:** https://www.rotageek.com - **Runs on:** Web - **Who should skip it:** Skip it if you want a price, as none is shown. - **Facts last checked:** Nov 13, 2026 ## Pricing Rotageek's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site. ## Key features - **Rota building and auto-scheduling:** Rota building with skills, tasks and rules checks, plus an auto-scheduling add-on that creates optimized schedules. - **Forecasting and labor planning:** Demand forecasting, labor modelling and labor budgets are sold as add-ons to the core scheduling package. - **Time and attendance:** Clock in by app, kiosk or geofence, with timesheets. - **Pay rules and payroll export:** Turns hours worked into pay using pay rules and exports the result to payroll. - **Leave and employee app:** Holiday requests and absence management, and a mobile app with shift swaps. - **Platform:** A public API with webhooks, integrations for payroll, HR and POS, and HR modules powered by ELMO. ## Good for - UK retailers and hospitality operators with many sites - Care homes and other services with rule-heavy rotas - Teams that want forecasting feeding the rota ## Worth knowing - No prices are published; the site routes to demos, and /pricing returns a not-found page. - Auto-scheduling, forecasting, labor modelling and insights are add-ons beyond the core Digital Scheduling package. - The HR modules are powered by ELMO rather than being a separate Rotageek product. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Rotageek builds rotas, forecasts demand and tracks time, but auto-scheduling, forecasting and labor modelling are add-ons beyond the core package. No price is published, and its /pricing page returns not-found. - **Value for money: C.** No price on record, and the site's /pricing page is not found. Demos only. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free is listed: no free plan and no trial on the pages we read. - **Features: C.** Rotas, forecasting, time and attendance, pay rules and an app. But auto-scheduling, forecasting and labor modelling are add-ons beyond Digital Scheduling. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It's an enterprise package with add-ons. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only on the listing, with ELMO the one named integration. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/shift-scheduling ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Rotageek you would be making payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 46 of the 49 other shift scheduling apps grade higher. - You could make: Time off and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you. - You could not: A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts. - You could not: Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when. - You could not: It plugs into other products, ELMO among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
