Free shift scheduling: what you get free · Mishmarotix
Three ways to schedule shifts without a monthly bill: a free Excel template, a free trial, and a small team that pays nothing per user.
Three ways to build a shift rota without a monthly bill, and the difference between them: an Excel template, a free trial, and a small team that pays nothing per user.
1. A free Excel template
For a team of a few people, one sheet is enough. The rota template for Excel is free with no sign-up: seven days, three shifts a day and room for three people on each. What it does not do is collect availability, check rest between shifts or send the rota to anyone.
2. A free trial of the product
The product itself has a free 7-day trial for up to 5 users. That is enough to build one real week with your team, collect availability from their phones and see how a swap request looks.
3. A small team pays nothing per user
The first 3 users in every company have no monthly charge. A small business with up to 3 users pays only the one-time setup fee, $10, and uses the rota, availability, swaps and time clock with no monthly bill.
As the team grows, each further user is $5 a month. Add-on packages, such as automatic scheduling or the tips module, are bought once. It is all on the pricing page.
Which to choose
- Up to three or four people, with few swaps: the Excel template is enough.
- A small team tired of messages in the group: the product with its free users.
- A larger team: the free trial, then priced by users.
