In their own words
Daypart
Daypart is a shift scheduling app for owner-run teams of 3 to 75. It builds weekly schedules, collects availability, handles swaps, and alerts staff through web and iOS apps. The builder offers drag-and-drop shifts, half-hour cells, role colors, day-level events, and copying the previous week. Managers can post open shifts for qualified teammates, with conflicts flagged before publishing. Team features include two-way trades, time-off approvals, approval auditing, hours reports, overtime alerts, weekly email reports, and CSV payroll exports with Gusto and QuickBooks presets. The native iPhone and iPad app provides shift alerts, Apple Calendar updates, and open-shift claims; shifts also sync with Apple Calendar. A 30-day trial includes full Team features without a credit card. Afterward, an unupgraded account becomes read-only. Team costs $20 a month.
Zoho Shifts
Zoho Shifts is employee scheduling and time tracking software for businesses. Managers can create conflict-free schedules and follow attendance in real time, including who is working, on break, or late. They can manage time-off and shift requests, swaps, and open shifts, while built-in messaging supports direct messages, group chats, and announcement channels. GPS tagging and geofencing can be used to verify check-ins at job sites. Employees can use iOS or Android apps or web access. Schedules can sync with Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar, though synchronization is one-way and unavailable on the Free plan. Zoho Analytics can sync shift, employee, time-off request, and time-entry data for custom reports; the REST API provides access to employees, shifts, time-off requests, and timesheets. The Free plan costs nothing and supports up to 25 users. Zoho describes billing as pay-as-you-go with no contract, with subscriptions that can be started or stopped at any time.
