M7 Health vs RosterLab

M7 Health is an AI-powered workforce operations platform for nurse and staff scheduling at hospitals and health systems. It forecasts staffing demand, builds first-pass schedules around staff preferences and clinical needs, and auto-balances schedules. The platform creates open shifts, routes them to eligible staff, and supports floating staff and central staffing across units. Real-time coverage views help teams identify staffing gaps before premium labor is needed. Nurses can use Android and iOS apps to view schedules, set preferences, pick up shifts, and request swaps; a web browser also works on shared unit computers. M7 integrates with payroll, timekeeping, ERP, and EMR systems while existing payroll and HR systems remain the system of record. Its team handles implementation, described as typically four weeks for integration, configuration, training, and go-live support. M7 states SOC 2 Type II certification and offers U.S.-based support by text, phone, or email with a dedicated customer success manager. Pricing is available on request.

RosterLab generates and optimises staff rosters for complex teams, including healthcare and 24/7 operations. Its AI accounts for staffing requirements, employee preferences, fatigue, union rules, skill coverage and fairness. Managers can re-roster part of a schedule while leaving the rest unchanged. Employees can use the mobile app to view shifts, submit leave requests and preferences, claim open shifts, and request swaps; they can also sync schedules with Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar and more. The free Digital Rostering plan supports manual scheduling, simple rule checks, dynamic statistics, shift colour coding and the employee app. AI Optimised Rostering is listed at $20 a month, billed per person per month; the pricing note says paid plans start at $15/user/mo. Enterprise pricing is custom, with SSO, API access, integrations, customised rules and priority support listed. RosterLab says AI pricing counts staff included in the roster, not administrators or managers outside it. The pricing FAQ recommends contacting the company for teams with at least 30 people.
