  1. When I Work

    When I Work is a mobile-first scheduling and time-tracking tool for hourly, shift-based teams, priced publicly from $2.50 per user per month with no setup fee or contract. It is focused on scheduling and time, so payroll runs through integrations, and there is no free plan.

  2. Deputy

    Deputy suits shift-based businesses, from single locations to enterprises, that want scheduling and time clocking at published per-user prices starting at $5 per month. The main trade-off is that payroll, HR, messaging and analytics are paid add-ons, and SSO and a sandbox are limited to the Pro plan.

  5. Connecteam

    Connecteam is an all-in-one app for deskless and shift-based teams, covering time clock, scheduling, communications and HR, with a free plan for up to 10 users. The trade-off is that pricing is per hub, and API access, SSO and HIPAA registration depend on higher tiers or extra fees.
