Every European absence management software tool reviewed
Munich, Germany
Founded 2014
Starter EUR 2.99, Pro EUR 4.99, Complete EUR 7.99 per user per month; 10% off annual billing
14-day free trial, no card required; no free plan
Best for: Companies that want absence handled properly and the servers in one country
absence.io is the most straightforward answer in this category: a Munich company whose actual product is absence, priced openly, with the hosting question answered in one sentence.
The vendor states that all absence.io servers are located in Germany, on its own infrastructure rather than in a European region rented from an American hyperscaler — which, out of eleven tools here, only Lucca also manages in its own way. The company is absence.io GmbH at Landshuter Allee 49 in Munich, registered at Amtsgericht Munchen under HRB 211629, with roots going back to 2014 and more than 3,000 companies using it.
The product covers vacation planning and approval, a digital personnel file, time tracking and expense and travel reimbursement, with integrations to Microsoft, Google and Slack.
Pricing is published rather than quoted: Starter at EUR 2.99 per user per month for absence management, planning, reports and integrations; Pro at EUR 4.99 adding time tracking, personnel files and single sign-on; Complete at EUR 7.99 adding expenses, travel accounting and API access. Annual billing takes 10 per cent off and non-profits are told to ask.
What it does not have is an external security certification of its own. The vendor describes its German servers as sitting in ISO-certified data centres, which is a statement about the building rather than about absence.io's own management system, and it is a weaker claim than the ISO 27001 certificates that Lucca, Cezanne HR, Shiftbase, Woffu, TimeTac and absentify hold. For a procurement process that asks for a certificate number, that is the gap to raise first.
What absence.io does well
- All servers in Germany, on the vendor's own infrastructure rather than AWS or Azure
- Prices published at EUR 2.99, EUR 4.99 and EUR 7.99 per user per month, with 10% off annual
- Absence is the product, not a module bolted onto an HR suite
- Fourteen-day trial without a card, and non-profit pricing on request
- German company, German register entry, German support number in the imprint
Where absence.io falls short
- No vendor-level ISO 27001 certificate — only a claim about the data centre
- No free plan, unlike absentify, Shiftbase and Personizer
- No self-hosting and no open source
- Time tracking and single sign-on need the EUR 4.99 tier, API access the EUR 7.99 one
Standout feature. Servers in Germany, full stop. It is the only tool here whose hosting answer needs no clause about which American provider is underneath the European region.
Paris, France
Founded 2002
Absences module EUR 3.11 per employee per month excluding VAT, quoted for 100+ employees; other modules priced separately
Demo on request; no self-serve trial published
Best for: French organisations that need statutory leave modelled rather than approximated
Lucca is what absence management looks like when the software actually knows the labour law.
The Absences module handles seniority-based entitlement, the compte epargne temps, fractioning and rights regularisation, the difference between jours ouvres and jours ouvrables, and every absence type from paid leave and RTT to sick leave, unpaid leave and family events. It proposes how to spread requested days across the available counters, which is the kind of detail that only exists because the vendor has been solving this specific problem since 2002.
Lucca SAS is at 151-157 Avenue de France in Paris, with offices in Nantes and Marseille, and its mentions legales name OVH in Roubaix as the host. Production runs on OVHcloud in France and Germany with encrypted backups at Scaleway, and Swiss customers are placed on Microsoft Azure in Switzerland.
The company has held ISO 27001 since July 2022. The Absences module is quoted at EUR 3.11 per employee per month excluding VAT for organisations of 100 or more, and the rest of the platform — core HR, timesheets, performance, expenses, payroll interfaces — is priced module by module alongside it.
The reservations are about shape rather than quality. This is a French HR platform first: the interface, support and statutory depth are strongest in French, the pricing is quoted for organisations at the 100-employee mark rather than for a team of twelve, and there is no self-serve trial — you get a demo. A ten-person company that wants the spreadsheet gone by Friday is not the buyer here.
What Lucca does well
- French leave law modelled in detail: RTT, CET, seniority rights, jours ouvres versus ouvrables
- Hosted on OVHcloud in France and Germany, with backups at Scaleway
- ISO 27001 certified since July 2022
- Absences are grouped for payroll rather than retyped at month end
- Twenty-plus years on the same problem, with the module catalogue to show for it
Where Lucca falls short
- Oriented to French organisations; weaker fit elsewhere in Europe
- Pricing quoted for 100+ employees, so small teams have no published rate
- Demo only — no self-serve trial and no free plan
- Absence is one module of a large platform, so the full system is a project, not an afternoon
Standout feature. It knows what a compte epargne temps is. For a French employer that is not a feature, it is the difference between a system that works and one that gets corrected by hand every month.
Warsaw, Poland
Time Off USD 2 per user per month billed yearly (list USD 2.50); Time & Attendance USD 2.50, Core HR USD 2, Performance USD 2.50, SAML add-on USD 0.80; a minimum account fee applies
14-day free trial, no card required; no free plan
Best for: Distributed teams that need accrual and approval rules that survive an audit
Calamari has the deepest leave engine per euro in this category. Entitlement is calculated automatically from hire dates and prorated by employee properties, carry-over runs to the next year with configurable caps and expiry dates on the carried balance, and absence types are unlimited and policy-bound: maximum duration, minimum notice, frequency limits, mandatory substitute, required reason, required medical certificate.
Approval is multi-stage with a named deputy, optional auto-approval per absence type, a full history with comments and attachments, and the ability to lock past requests against edits.
It is built for teams spread across borders: over 110 public holiday calendars, thirteen interface languages, contract-type-specific policies for full-time, part-time and internships, and a team availability view across time zones. Integrations cover Slack, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Jira, Asana and Basecamp with a public API.
Calamari sp. z o.o. sp.k. is at ul. Chmielna 2/31 in Warsaw, and the modules are priced separately: Time Off at USD 2 per user per month billed yearly, Time & Attendance at USD 2.50, Core HR at USD 2, Performance at USD 2.50, SAML single sign-on as a USD 0.80 add-on.
Two things keep it off the top of this list. Calamari says it is preparing for ISO 27001 certification rather than holding one, and while it states that the application runs on Amazon Web Services, it does not say in which region — so a European buyer with a residency clause has to ask rather than read. A minimum account fee also applies, which the per-user rate does not reveal.
What Calamari does well
- The most detailed accrual, carry-over and policy rules of any tool here
- Multi-stage approval with deputies, locked history and attachments
- Over 110 public holiday calendars and thirteen languages for cross-border teams
- Modules priced separately from USD 2 per user per month, so you buy only leave if that is all you need
- Broad integrations — Slack, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Jira, Asana — plus an API
Where Calamari falls short
- Runs on AWS with no region stated, so residency has to be confirmed in the contract
- No ISO 27001 certificate; the vendor says it is preparing for one
- A minimum account fee applies on top of the per-user rate
- Prices are set in US dollars despite the Polish entity
Standout feature. Carry-over caps with expiry dates on the carried balance. It is the unglamorous rule that spreadsheets always get wrong and most cheap leave tools simply do not implement.
Zurich, Switzerland; registered office Tagerwilen
Free plan at USD 0; Mini, Essentials and Plus tiers priced per user with 15% off annual billing, amounts not published on the pricing page
Free plan with no time limit and unlimited users
Best for: Microsoft 365 organisations that want leave booked where people already work
Absentify is absence management that lives inside Microsoft Teams and Outlook rather than in another browser tab. It is a certified Microsoft 365 application with native Entra ID integration, so the directory is already there and the request happens in the chat window where the conversation about the time off was already happening. Around forty further integrations cover Slack, Google Calendar, Personio and Jira, plus iCal feeds for anything else.
The free plan is the most generous in this category and is not a trial: unlimited users at no cost, capped at two departments, one administrator and one custom leave type, with annual Excel export and email support, and without document uploads, recurring absences or API access.
Paid tiers — Mini, Essentials and Plus — add departments, unlimited admins, more leave types, PDF and bulk exports, document uploads and API and webhook access, priced per user with 15 per cent off annual billing; the pricing page describes the tiers without printing the rates.
The jurisdiction needs stating precisely. Absentify GmbH is a Swiss company at Rotachstrasse 4 in Zurich with its registered office in Tagerwilen, registered as CHE-474.596.881, so the contracting party is outside the EU under a Swiss adequacy decision.
The data is in Microsoft Azure North Europe in Ireland with backups replicated inside the EU and no processing outside the EEA, and the company holds ISO 27001. That is a clean arrangement, but it is a Swiss vendor on an American cloud, not a single-jurisdiction answer.
What absentify does well
- Free plan with unlimited users and no time limit
- Native, Microsoft-certified Teams and Outlook app with Entra ID integration
- ISO 27001 certified, with a published subprocessor list
- Data processed in Azure North Europe with no processing outside the EEA
- Around forty integrations including Slack, Google Calendar, Personio and Jira
Where absentify falls short
- Swiss entity, so the contracting party sits outside the EU under an adequacy decision
- Runs on Microsoft Azure, so a US provider is underneath the Irish region
- Paid tier prices are not printed on the pricing page
- Free plan is capped at two departments, one admin and one custom leave type
- Strongest inside Microsoft 365; less compelling for a Google Workspace shop
Standout feature. A free plan with unlimited users that is a product rather than a countdown — the only tool here where a fifty-person company can run absence tracking indefinitely for nothing.
Rastede, Germany
Vacation planner EUR 3.00, time tracking EUR 3.70, personnel file EUR 1.00 per employee per month; lower rates on a 24-month contract; a permanent free basic tier exists
14-day trial without a credit card, plus a free basic tier
Best for: German SMEs that want to buy the holiday planner and nothing else
Personizer is modular in the way a small company actually needs: the vacation planner is EUR 3.00 per employee per month, time tracking is EUR 3.70, the digital personnel file is EUR 1.00, and you buy the ones you want.
A permanent free basic tier exists for the smallest teams and the trial runs fourteen days without a credit card. Rates fall on a 24-month commitment, which is the trade the vendor offers in place of a discount for annual payment.
The operator is Personizer GmbH & Co. KG at Schafjuckenweg 2 in Rastede, Lower Saxony, registered as HRA 204370 at Amtsgericht Oldenburg, part of the //CRASH group, with three named managing directors and a supervisory board in the imprint.
The privacy policy is unusually specific about hosting: data is stored exclusively in a German data centre in Frankfurt am Main, certified to ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 and PCI DSS Level 1. That data centre is AWS, which is the detail the marketing does not lead with.
So the honest description is a German company on German soil with an American provider in between, and no certification of Personizer's own — the certificates listed belong to the data centre.
The subprocessor list also leans American: Stripe for payments, Mailgun for transactional email, Sentry, Microsoft Clarity and Google Analytics, each under standard contractual clauses. For a German buyer whose requirement is German storage, that is satisfied. For one whose requirement is no US processor in the chain, it is not.
What Personizer does well
- Modules sold separately, so the holiday planner alone is EUR 3.00 per employee per month
- Permanent free basic tier plus a fourteen-day trial without a card
- Data stored exclusively in a Frankfurt data centre certified to ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018
- German entity with a full imprint: register number, managing directors, supervisory board
- Cheaper rates available on a 24-month term
Where Personizer falls short
- The Frankfurt data centre is AWS, so a US provider sits under the German storage claim
- The ISO certificates belong to the data centre, not to Personizer
- Several US subprocessors — Stripe, Mailgun, Sentry, Google Analytics — in the chain
- Built for the German-speaking market; documentation and support are strongest in German
- Cheapest rates require a two-year commitment
Standout feature. It tells you the data centre is in Frankfurt and lists the certificates that cover it. Most vendors in this category answer the hosting question with a continent.
Zoetermeer, Netherlands
Founded 2011
Free up to 15 employees; Basic includes 6 employees then EUR 4.00 per extra employee per month (EUR 3.60 annual), Premium includes 12 then EUR 5.00 (EUR 4.50), Enterprise includes 48 then EUR 6.00 (EUR 5.40); 10% off yearly
14-day trial on paid plans, no card required; free plan up to 15 employees
Best for: Shift-based teams where leave only makes sense next to the rota
Shiftbase treats absence as part of scheduling, which for hospitality, retail, healthcare and production is the only way it makes sense: a holiday request is a hole in next week's rota, and approving one without seeing the other is how understaffed Saturdays happen. Scheduling, time tracking and absence sit in one product, with availability, shift swaps, open shifts, a kiosk punch clock and labour cost forecasting around them.
The operator is Shiftbase B.V., headquartered at Groeneweg 2A in Zoetermeer with further offices in Amsterdam, Berlin and Edinburgh, serving more than 8,000 customers and 250,000 users. The trust centre publishes an ISO/IEC 27001 certificate with its Statement of Applicability and a live subprocessor list, which is a level of transparency most of this category does not offer. Hosting is AWS, Google Cloud and Cloudflare in the EU, with AI schedule parsing on Google Vertex AI in an EU region.
Pricing works in blocks rather than purely per head: the free plan covers up to fifteen employees, Basic includes six employees with extra staff at EUR 4.00 per month, Premium includes twelve at EUR 5.00 extra, Enterprise includes 48 at EUR 6.00 extra, and yearly billing takes 10 per cent off.
The block structure means a team of seven and a team of eleven can pay noticeably different effective rates, and it is worth doing the arithmetic for your exact headcount rather than reading the headline.
What Shiftbase does well
- Absence, scheduling and time tracking in one product, so leave is visible against the rota
- Free plan for up to fifteen employees, not a trial
- ISO/IEC 27001 with the Statement of Applicability and subprocessor list published in the trust centre
- Dutch entity, EU hosting, and an open API on the Enterprise plan
- Fourteen-day trial on paid plans with no card required
Where Shiftbase falls short
- Runs on AWS and Google Cloud, so US providers sit under the EU regions
- Block-based pricing means small headcount changes move the effective per-person cost a lot
- Built for shift work; an office team with no rota uses a fraction of it
- Leave policy rules are thinner than Calamari's or Lucca's
- The .com footer shows the Edinburgh office, so the Dutch entity takes a moment to find
Standout feature. The trust centre publishes the ISO 27001 Statement of Applicability and the subprocessor list. Almost nobody in this category shows their working like that.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Founded 2005
Not published; tailored to headcount, modules and countries, billed annually in advance on a 12-month minimum term
No trial; personalised demo only
Best for: Employers managing sickness absence as a measured, documented process
edays is the only tool here designed around sickness rather than holiday.
It calculates an ongoing Bradford Factor score for every employee — the metric that weights frequent short absences more heavily than one long one — and can show it live on the profile or be turned off entirely if you consider it intrusive.
Reasons are logged against sickness absences, return-to-work forms go out automatically when someone comes back, previous records and medical certificates sit on the profile for the manager to read before the interview, and alerts fire by email when a configured absence condition is exceeded.
E-days Absence Management Ltd, company number 09458918, operates from Canalside House on Canal Street in Nottingham, is ISO 27001 certified through ISOQAR and registered with the ICO as ZA194796, and has been working on this since 2005.
It serves more than 1,400 companies across 120 countries in 25 languages, with localised leave rules and public holiday imports — the practical reason a multinational chooses it over a domestic tool. The privacy policy states that personal data is held within the United Kingdom.
The commercial terms are the least accommodating in this category. There is no free plan and no trial of any kind; the vendor says it cannot offer one because the system is configured specifically per customer, and offers a personalised demo instead. Pricing is not published, the absence module is compulsory with time and attendance, core HR and scheduling as add-ons, and the contract is a twelve-month minimum billed annually in advance.
What edays does well
- Bradford Factor scoring calculated automatically, and switchable off
- Return-to-work forms, logged reasons and stored medical certificates as a process, not a field
- Configurable triggers that alert named people when an absence pattern crosses a threshold
- ISO 27001 via ISOQAR, with personal data held in the UK
- 120 countries, 25 languages and localised leave rules with public holiday imports
Where edays falls short
- No trial at all — demo only, which is unique among the eleven
- No published pricing, and a twelve-month minimum billed annually in advance
- Data held in the UK rather than the EU, so an EU buyer relies on the adequacy decision
- No cloud provider named anywhere in the privacy policy
- The absence module is compulsory; everything else is a paid add-on
Standout feature. Bradford Factor scoring out of the box. No other tool in this category turns absence records into the measure that occupational health and HR actually argue about.
London, United Kingdom
Not published; monthly subscription matched to active headcount and selected modules, no implementation fee, rolling contract
Not published; demo and quote on request
Best for: Mid-sized employers replacing a whole HR system, not just the holiday sheet
Cezanne HR is a full HRIS in which absence is one module among recruitment, onboarding, core HR, performance, compensation, learning, succession, expenses and payroll.
Cezanne HR Limited operates from 57 Southwark Street in London, supports use in over 120 countries, and provides UK-based support. If the absence problem is really the absence of any HR system, this is the shape of product that fixes it — and the absence module inherits the permissions, audit and reporting of the platform around it rather than reimplementing them.
The security position is the strongest documented one here. Customer data is hosted on AWS in European Union data centres, Ireland named, and the vendor states its AWS contract forbids moving content out of the selected region — a specific contractual commitment rather than a general assurance. It holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified by BSI under certificate IS 696606, which is checkable, and Cyber Essentials alongside it. The subscription covers hosting, 24/7 monitoring, unlimited storage, backups, support and new features.
Commercially it is a quote. Cezanne publishes no rate: the monthly fee is matched to active headcount and selected modules, with no upfront cost, no implementation fee and a rolling contract rather than a multi-year term, which is a genuinely fair structure — but it still means you cannot compare it against absence.io or Calamari without talking to sales. The company also does not publish a founding year, and as a British vendor the contracting party sits outside the EU.
What Cezanne HR does well
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified by BSI under a quotable certificate number, plus Cyber Essentials
- AWS in EU data centres with a contractual bar on moving content out of the region
- Absence sits inside a complete HRIS with shared permissions, audit and reporting
- No upfront cost, no implementation fee, rolling contract billed on active headcount
- Used across 120 countries with UK-based support
Where Cezanne HR falls short
- No published pricing at all — every figure comes from a sales conversation
- No published trial; demo and quote only
- British entity, so the contracting party is outside the EU under an adequacy decision
- Runs on AWS, so a US provider is under the Irish region
- Overkill if the only problem is holiday requests
Standout feature. A contract clause that stops AWS moving content out of the chosen region, backed by a BSI certificate number you can verify. That is a residency claim with evidence attached.
Barcelona, Spain
Lite from EUR 1.50 per user per month for up to 10 employees; Pro, Enterprise and Talent & People Hub quoted annually, amounts not published
Free trial on the Lite plan; no permanent free plan
Best for: Spanish employers who need clocking compliance and absence in one system
Woffu comes at absence from the Spanish time-registration side, where recording working hours has been a legal obligation since 2019 and the audit trail matters as much as the holiday calendar. The platform covers clocking through several channels including WhatsApp, Slack, the web and physical devices, plus scheduling, shift planning, absence and vacation management, document management and signature, and legal reporting built for inspection rather than for a dashboard.
Woffu Job Organizer SL is at Carrer Mexic 8 in Barcelona, tax ID B66473869, registered in the Barcelona Companies Registry and now part of the Visma Group — Norwegian ownership, so the parent as well as the operating company is European.
The certification stack is the broadest in this category: ISO 27001 for information security, ISO 27701 for privacy information management and ISO 27018 for personal data in public clouds, all audited annually, with annual penetration testing on top. Lite pricing starts at EUR 1.50 per user per month for firms up to ten employees; Pro, Enterprise and the Talent & People Hub are quoted annually.
The gap is the one the ISO 27018 certificate hints at. Woffu states that its production environment runs on Microsoft Azure, and neither the terms nor the security policy names a region or country. For a Spanish buyer that is usually academic; for anyone with a residency clause, the certificate covers how personal data is handled in a public cloud, not which country that cloud is in.
What Woffu does well
- ISO 27001, ISO 27701 and ISO 27018 with annual audits and penetration testing
- Built for Spanish clocking obligations, with inspection-ready legal reporting
- Clocking via WhatsApp, Slack, web and physical terminals
- Lite from EUR 1.50 per user per month, among the cheapest published rates here
- Spanish entity inside the Norwegian Visma group, so ownership stays European
Where Woffu falls short
- Runs on Microsoft Azure with no region or country stated anywhere public
- Only the Lite tier has a published price; everything above it is quoted annually
- Pro and Enterprise are annual-commitment only
- Strongest for the Spanish market; leave-policy depth trails Calamari and Lucca
- No free plan, only a trial on Lite
Standout feature. ISO 27701 alongside ISO 27001. A privacy information management certificate is rare, and in a category holding sickness records it is the more relevant of the two.
Graz, Austria
Not published; a per-module calculator over a base fee, leave management sold alongside employee and project time tracking; clocking terminals EUR 29.90 to EUR 49.90 per month, virtual clocking app EUR 10.00; annual billing gives two months free
30-day free trial; no free plan
Best for: Austrian and German firms that want leave attached to real time tracking
TimeTac sells leave management as one module of a time-tracking system, alongside employee time tracking and project time tracking. That combination is the point: if you are already recording working hours against projects for billing, having the leave balances in the same system removes the reconciliation between two tools that disagree about who worked on Thursday. Access runs through browsers, desktop and mobile apps, and physical terminals with NFC or RFID.
TimeTac GmbH is at Schmiedgasse 31 in Graz, registered as FN 379505x at the Landesgericht fur ZRS Graz with VAT number ATU67270516 and Christoph Luckl as managing director. The company holds ISO 27001 and the Certified Cloud mark from Cloud Ecosystem, a German certification programme covering security, exit options and service levels — the latter being unusual and genuinely useful, since exit terms are what a departing customer discovers too late.
Two things are left vague. The security page says TimeTac operates certified data centres at two locations in Europe without naming the countries or the provider, which is less than a German or Austrian buyer with a residency clause will accept without asking.
And pricing is a calculator rather than a price list: modules are selected and multiplied by headcount on top of a base fee for hosting, maintenance and support, with no published amounts, clocking terminals at EUR 29.90 to EUR 49.90 per month, a virtual clocking app at EUR 10.00, two months free on annual billing, and sales contact required above twenty users.
What TimeTac does well
- Leave, employee time and project time in one system, so hours and absences reconcile themselves
- ISO 27001 plus the Certified Cloud mark, which covers exit and booking terms as well as security
- Thirty-day free trial, the longest here alongside Timetastic
- Austrian entity with a complete imprint and a named managing director
- Hardware terminals with NFC and RFID for workforces that are not at a desk
Where TimeTac falls short
- Two European data centres, countries and provider not named
- No published prices — a calculator plus a base fee, and sales contact above twenty users
- No free plan
- Leave management is an add-on to time tracking rather than the core product
- Hardware add-ons at EUR 29.90 to EUR 49.90 per month change the total materially
Standout feature. The Certified Cloud mark covers exit and booking options, not just security. It is the only certification in this category that says anything about how easily you can leave.
Wilmslow, Cheshire, United Kingdom
Founded 2012
Business GBP 1.20 (USD 1.50) per user per month, Pro GBP 2.00 (USD 2.50), Rota & Time Clock USD 5.50; 50% discount for charities and NHS trusts
30-day free trial, no contract; no free plan
Best for: Small teams that want the holiday spreadsheet gone by Friday for almost nothing
Timetastic is the cheapest credible way out of a shared holiday spreadsheet.
Business is GBP 1.20 per user per month, Pro is GBP 2.00, a rota and time clock tier is USD 5.50, and charities and NHS trusts get 50 per cent off the standard rates. The trial runs thirty days with no contract and cancellation is month to month, paid by card or UK direct debit. Everyone gets a personal holiday calendar, managers get a central approval queue, and that is deliberately most of it.
Timetastic Ltd, company number 09236149, operates from Kings Court on Water Lane in Wilmslow, Cheshire, with VAT number GB196022312, says it has been going since 2012, and reports over 275,000 people booking time off through the product. It is part of The Citation Group, a larger UK provider of business services to SMEs — worth knowing, because it means roadmap decisions are made at group level rather than by a small independent vendor.
It ranks last here on disclosure rather than on product. The privacy policy names Timetastic Ltd as controller and mentions Stripe and Google APIs, but it does not name a hosting provider or a region, and it explicitly contemplates transfers of personal data to countries outside the EEA.
No security certification is published. For a ten-person UK company tracking holiday, none of that is likely to matter; for an EU employer with a data processing agreement to complete, it is a conversation that has to happen before signature rather than after.
What Timetastic does well
- GBP 1.20 per user per month on Business, the cheapest published rate in this category
- Fifty per cent discount for charities and NHS trusts
- Thirty-day trial, no contract, cancel monthly by card or UK direct debit
- Simple enough that a small team is live the same day
- Backed by The Citation Group rather than dependent on a single founder
Where Timetastic falls short
- No hosting provider or region disclosed, and the privacy policy contemplates transfers outside the EEA
- No security certification published
- British entity, so the contracting party is outside the EU under an adequacy decision
- Deliberately basic: no accrual policy engine, no Bradford Factor, no multi-stage approval chain
- No free plan, and the rota and time clock tier jumps to USD 5.50
Standout feature. The price. At GBP 1.20 per head per month, and half that for a charity, the argument for keeping the spreadsheet is not a financial one.
