absence.io review

absence.io is a solid leave tracker for teams with a European footprint. The Starter plan covers absence and leave management, reports and downloads and integrations with Microsoft, Google and Slack. Pro adds web and app time tracking, a digital time clock, automated overtime management, custom work schedules, a digital employee file and single sign-on. Complete adds travel and expense management, receipt capture, DATEV integration and API access. Billing is per active user per month, you can switch plans at any time and yearly billing saves 10%. The pricing page shows euros from our location, so we list the USD price as pending. US teams will find the DATEV integration and German phone line less relevant, and the leave features on Starter are close to what Timetastic and LeaveBoard offer, so it ranks last here mainly on value and fit for US buyers rather than on capability.
