FAQ

Got questions?

Can't find what you're looking for? Our team is one message away.

Yes, 100% free, and it stays that way - it never turns into a paid plan. It’s a limited-feature version, so you can get to know Shiftbase at your own pace.

Because a decent schedule shouldn’t depend on your budget. The free version replaces the Excel and the paper on the door; when you want more, upgrade whenever you’re ready.

Yes. Try the paid version free for 14 days, no card details needed. At the end of the trial you decide if Shiftbase stays.

No. Setup, updates, and support are included, and a free demo to walk you through Shiftbase comes with them. The only extras are the add-ons, and they are all optional. You’ll find the full list and what each one costs under Add-ons, further up this page. Add what your team needs, skip the rest.

Yes. How much you get off depends on your team size and the plan you pick. Contact our sales team, tell us about your organisation and we'll put a proposal together.

Pick yearly and we bill you once for the whole year, based on the employees in your account that day. You save 10% on every paid employee. Add people mid-year and we bill the extra for the rest of your term, grouped into at most one extra invoice a month. Deactivate someone and their spot frees up for a new hire straight away - a lower team size takes effect at your next renewal, and we don’t refund the current year.

One month if you pay monthly: cancel whenever you like and your subscription runs for one more month after that. A yearly plan is paid up front for the whole year, so there is no monthly notice: cancel before the year renews and it stops at the end of that year. A year that's already paid isn't refunded.

Yearly works best when your team size stays steady through the year. If it swings a lot - a seasonal business that’s packed in summer and quiet in winter, or a team with high turnover - monthly fits better and saves you the admin. You pay for the people you have each month, nothing locked in, no year upfront. Not sure which suits you? Contact us and we’ll help you pick.
