Detailed Review

Staffomatic is a shift planner with absence management and time tracking, built by a small German company. The Staffomatic Basic plan contains the shift planner, absences, a digital personnel file, the mobile app, shift swapping and shift applications.

Time tracking, qualifications and API access arrive in Professional, and working time accounts, supplements, overtime accounts and a DATEV export in Premium. Staffomatic reports more than 70,000 users across more than 1,500 teams. The punch clock runs as an app on any device with an internet connection, where employees log hours with a personal five-digit PIN.

Staffomatic is operated by easyPEP UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Zirkusweg 2 in Hamburg, registered at the Amtsgericht Hamburg-Altona under HRB 123216. The company history on its about page says the firm was set up as Easypep in 2011 and renamed Staffomatic in 2014.

Staffomatic describes its product as made in Germany and hosted in Germany, without naming the hosting provider. The Staffomatic data policy lists American providers such as HubSpot and Vimeo for the website and support, with EU standard contractual clauses as the safeguard.

Staffomatic charges per user per month: Basic EUR 2.00 with yearly billing or EUR 2.40 monthly, Professional EUR 4.00 or EUR 4.80, Premium EUR 6.00 or EUR 7.00. Every plan has a minimum of 10 users, and teams above 100 users get Enterprise rates on request.

The trial lasts 14 days and needs no payment details. Staffomatic fits German-speaking teams that want DATEV-ready hours at a published price. Teams under ten people pay for ten seats regardless, and companies that want named certifications will not find any on the Staffomatic pages checked.

What Staffomatic does well

  • Staffomatic Basic costs EUR 2.00 per user per month with yearly billing
  • Staffomatic states that the service is hosted in Germany
  • Staffomatic includes shift swapping and shift applications in the cheapest plan
  • Staffomatic Premium includes a DATEV export and working time accounts
  • Staffomatic offers a 14-day trial without payment details

Where Staffomatic falls short

  • Staffomatic does not name its hosting provider on the pages checked
  • Staffomatic Basic keeps only 30 days of history, against 90 days in Premium
  • Staffomatic states no security certification on its website

Standout feature. Staffomatic combines the lowest published per-user price in this comparison, EUR 2.00 per user per month, with a plain statement that the service is hosted in Germany.
