Shiftura vs Sling

Shiftura is scheduling software for small and midsize hourly teams. Managers create and publish schedules, review employee availability, and notify the team automatically. Employees can offer shifts to coworkers, who claim them for manager approval; managers may also define rules that auto-approve qualifying swaps. The service tracks how hours, weekends, and nights are distributed. It serves restaurants, retail, childcare, fitness, and hospitality. Shiftura runs on Android, iOS, and the web, and employees can use phones without downloading an app. Plans include a free option for up to five employees, Team at $32.50 a month for up to 25 employees, and Pro at $65.83 a month for up to 75. Team and Pro include a 14-day card-required trial. Shiftura does not include time tracking or a time clock.

Sling is an employee scheduling, communication, and workforce management platform for organizing shifts and labor costs. It supports reusable schedule templates, employee availability, time-off requests, shift offers, swaps, open shifts, and auto-scheduling. The Free plan supports up to 30 users and includes shift scheduling, time-off requests, available shifts, news sharing, long-term scheduling, and private messaging. Premium costs $2 a month per user and adds mobile time tracking, labor cost management, overtime tracking, and group messaging. Business costs $4 a month per user and adds kiosk time tracking, reports, no-show and sick call-out features, and PTO management. Communication options include private and group messages, a Newsfeed, Announcements, and email, push, browser, and some SMS notifications. Sling lists integrations with Toast and other point-of-sale systems; the Toast connection syncs employee data, compares POS sales with labor costs, and exports timesheets to Toast Payroll. Sling runs on Android, iOS, and the web, though some actions require a desktop browser.
