What surrounds it you could not. The 7 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 13 of the 23 other shift scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $26.81 a year. - You could make: Time off and employee records: an app builder makes these well. - 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: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Personio and DATEV among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
