Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
1.8
GPA, above 1 of the 23 other shift scheduling apps we grade
Workforce.com sells employee scheduling, HR and payroll for shift-based businesses, either as separate products or as an all-in-one bundle. Scheduling covers labor forecasting, communications and shift management, and the HR and payroll sides add onboarding, time and attendance and tax filing. Prices are given on request.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Workforce.com, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No price is published, and cost depends on headcount.
- 1
Best for scheduling with payroll and HR
Workforce.com covers scheduling, time and attendance, payroll and HR, in four packages with separate US, Canada and UK sites.

It runs on Web
Web.
- 3
Employee scheduling
Builds schedules and manages shifts, with an employee app, communications and announcements to keep staff informed.
- 4
Labor forecasting
Staffing levels are guided by sales, foot traffic and similar data, and POS integrations such as Clover and Epos Now feed sales into schedules.
- 5
Time and attendance

- 6
A 1.8 GPA, above 1 of 23

The report card
Best for scheduling with payroll and HR
Workforce.com covers scheduling, time and attendance, payroll and HR, in four packages with separate US, Canada and UK sites. No price is published, and cost depends on headcount.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published. Every plan is a Request Pricing button, and the form asks for headcount, so nothing sits against the $5.65 middle. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial on record, so you pay before you use it. |
| Features | C | Scheduling, labour forecasting, time and attendance, payroll, HR and compliance help. The packages are sold apart, so you buy the parts you need. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Staff, rules and payroll have to be set up first. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, with eight integrations listed. An employee app is mentioned but no store listing is named. |
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 Workforce.com is for
- Fits if you want scheduling, time tracking and payroll from one company
- Works for a team that can say its headcount range and ask for a quote
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a posted price, as every plan is a quote
- Watch out: four packages are sold apart, All-in-One, Scheduling, Payroll and HR
- Watch out: the US, Canada and UK sites are separate, so check the one for your country
- Not for you if you need to know the phone platforms, as no store listing is named
Good to know
Good for
- Hourly teams in hospitality, retail and care that want scheduling, HR and payroll in one system
- Businesses subject to predictive-scheduling (Fair Workweek) rules
- Teams that only need scheduling and want to buy that product alone
Worth knowing
- No prices are published; every plan on the pricing page has a Request Pricing button.
- The quote form asks for employee range, from 1-20 up to 500+, so cost depends on headcount.
- Four packages are sold: All-in-One, Scheduling, Payroll and HR. The site has separate United States, Canada and UK versions.
- The pages read mention an employee app but no iOS or Android store listing, so only the web version is listed.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs
Every plan, the free plan, ways to pay less and how prices have moved
Workforce.com's current pricing could not be confirmed from its own site.
No free plan and no trial on record, so you pay before you use it.
We could not confirm Workforce.com’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. workforce.com has them.

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 Workforce.com 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: 19 of the 23 other shift scheduling apps grade higher.
What you could make
- Employee records, applicant tracking and time off: 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, ADP, Gusto and Clover among them.
What this rests on. Workforce.com’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.
