LeaveBoard is the cheapest paid tool on this list and one of two with a lasting free plan. The Free plan covers up to 9 employees and still includes the HR dashboard, time off tracking, an absence calendar, leave policies, HR reports and an employee directory, which is enough for many micro businesses. PRO costs $1.35 per employee per month with unlimited users and adds advanced leave policies and priority support, and yearly billing saves 17%. Integrations cover Microsoft Office 365, Google Calendar, Slack and Apple iCal, and the app runs in a browser on any device. LeaveBoard is less polished than Timetastic and its pricing page says little about accrual rules, so test your PTO policy in the 14-day trial before moving everyone over. Companies with more than 81 employees are pointed to a quoted Enterprise plan. For a team of 20, PRO comes to $27 a month.
