Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 26 of the 49 other shift scheduling apps we grade
Tamigo is a cloud workforce management system for retail and hospitality businesses, mostly in Europe. It covers shift scheduling, time and attendance, absence requests, payroll exports and staff communication. Prices start per location, and the larger packages are quoted individually.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Tamigo, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Labor rules and collective agreements are set up by package, so it's not a start-in-five-minutes tool.
- 1
Best for retail and hotel chains in Europe
Several features, like shift bids and enhanced absence balances, sit on dearer packages, and the top two are quote-only.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $16.76 a month
As its pricing page puts it: €15 per location / month.
- 3
You can try it first
Free trial offered on the Essential and Standard packages
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Shift scheduling
Schedule templates, per-day editing, shift bids and shift exchanges, with warnings when a schedule breaks work-time rules.
- 6
Time and attendance
Daily and weekly timesheets, a time clock in the mobile app, flex accounts, a time bank, and shift and break rules.
- 7
Absence management
Staff request time off, managers see an absence calendar, and balances are tracked, with enhanced balances on higher packages.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 26 of 49
That is against the other shift scheduling apps we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace Tamigo 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.

The report card
Best for retail and hotel chains in Europe
Tamigo covers scheduling, time clock, absence and payroll exports for retail and hospitality, with prices from EUR 15 per location. Several features, like shift bids and enhanced absence balances, sit on dearer packages, and the top two are quote-only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | B | EUR 15 a month per location on Essential and EUR 30 on Standard. Per head for a five-person single site that lands inside the cheaper quarter of the category. |
| Free plan and trial | D | A free trial is offered on Essential and Standard, but the page gives no length and no word on whether a card is needed. |
| Features | C | Schedules, timesheets, absence and payroll exports are there. But shift bids, enhanced balances and custom payroll integration all sit on higher packages. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Labor rules and collective agreements are set up by package, so it's not a start-in-five-minutes tool. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with a mobile app for schedules and swaps, plus Visma, DATEV, SAP, Opera and Zucchetti. The listing shows no desktop app. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Tamigo is for
- Fits if you run one or a few shops or hotels in Europe and want per-location pricing
- Works for chains that need labor-law and collective-agreement rules built in
Who it is not for

- Watch out: the trial has no stated length or card policy

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Tamigo 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.
It costs $201.10 a year.
What you could make
- Time off and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Payroll taxes worked out and filed with the government for you.
- A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts.
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- It plugs into other products, Visma, DATEV and SAP among them.
What this rests on. Tamigo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
