Timetastic ranks first because it does the one job a small team without an HR system needs, and charges very little for it. The Business plan, at $1.50 per user per month, gives you unlimited users and departments, a shared calendar of who is off, holiday allowance records, approvals and mobile and desktop apps. Pro, at $2.50, adds booking limits per leave type, absence trends and company-wide reports, which helps once you need to spot patterns rather than just approve requests. Integrations cover Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Workspace, QuickBooks and Sage 50, so leave can show up where people already work. There is no free plan, but the 30-day trial needs no card and billing is month to month with no notice period. Teams that also schedule shifts can move to Rota & Time Clock at $5.50 per user, which adds rotas, clock-in and payroll-ready timesheets. For a ten-person office the Business plan comes to $15 a month.
