Findmyshift vs When I Work

Findmyshift creates employee schedules, handles shift requests, tracks labor costs and supports communication with employees. Its online scheduler provides spreadsheet-style editing, drag-and-drop shifts, multi-cell editing and reusable templates. A time clock and timesheets record actual hours worked, and both are included at no extra cost on every account, including Free. Approved timesheets can feed reports comparing scheduled hours and costs with actual hours and costs. Managers can send messages and notifications by email, text or push notification; SMS has an additional cost. Findmyshift offers Android and iOS apps as well as browser access. The Free plan costs nothing and supports five team members and one manager, with one week of historical data and forward planning. Starter costs $27 a month and supports 20 team members. Business costs $43 a month; Enterprise costs $85 a month. A three-month trial includes full access for up to 300 employees and requires no credit card. Findmyshift was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

When I Work brings employee scheduling, shift swaps, team messaging, and time tracking together for shift-based workplaces. Auto scheduling assigns shifts using staff availability and qualifications, and managers can oversee multiple stores, departments, or job sites from one dashboard. The time clock tracks attendance, breaks, and time off, while staff can message without sharing phone numbers. It runs on the web, Android, and iOS. Essentials costs $2.50 a month billed per user per month; Pro is $5 a month billed per user per month; Premium is $8 a month billed per user per month. A 14-day trial offers complete access and requires no credit card, but there is no free plan. API key access, webhooks, and SAML/SSO are included in Premium. When I Work says it uses AWS, TLS, daily backups, multiple-disk writes, and mobile two-step verification. It does not offer an SLA, although its hosting partners guarantee 99.9% uptime.
