ezClocker vs Planday

ezClocker is time-tracking and scheduling software for small businesses, delivered through Android, iOS and web apps. Employees can clock in and out from a device or browser, while employers review and edit timesheets. The app records GPS location at clock-in and clock-out, not throughout the work period. Employers create schedules and employees view shifts on their devices. Basic costs $15 a month, billed at 150 USD a year, for up to 15 employees. Standard costs $30 a month, billed at 300 USD a year, for up to 30 employees. Premium costs $60 a month, billed at 600 USD a year, for up to 60 employees. All plans include web and mobile access, scheduling, GPS verification and CSV pay-period export. Standard and Premium add job assignments, overtime reports, payroll integrations and time off. A 30-day trial is listed, and fees are waived for employers with one employee or fewer.

Planday provides employee scheduling and workforce-management software for shift-working teams, on the web and on Android and iOS. Scheduling tools cover availability preferences, shift swaps, open and draft shifts, and reusable schedule templates. Workers can use Punch Clock to clock in and out from their devices, with location restrictions and rounding rules. Managers can compare scheduled and worked hours, approve shifts for payroll, and export timesheets through integrations. The mobile app also supports schedule viewing and updates, hour approvals and team communications. Planday connects with payroll, POS and HR systems, including Xero, Personio, Square, Lightspeed and ADP. Customers can configure working-time rules, contract hours and absence policies for automatic application to schedules, with real-time alerts for violations. The Starter plan includes Help Centre and live chat support; Pro includes dedicated phone support through a call-back service. Planday says it serves small, medium and enterprise businesses across industries such as hospitality, care homes, hotels, entertainment, retail, and fitness and wellness. There is no free plan; a 30-day trial is available. Starter costs £2.99 a month, billed per user/month, with a five-user minimum.
