Vacation Tracker review

Vacation Tracker suits teams that already run their day in Slack or Microsoft Teams, because requests, approvals and daily who-is-off updates happen inside those apps. The Core plan costs $2 per user per month with a $50 monthly minimum that covers up to 25 users, and it includes custom leave types, public holidays per location, carryover, negative balances, private leave types, auto approval and reminders for pending requests. Integrations with Slack, Teams, Google Workspace, ADP, Zapier and webhooks come with both plans. The catch is that accruals, time off in lieu, blackout periods and hourly leave all sit on the Complete plan at $4 per user with a $100 minimum, so US teams that accrue PTO per pay period will likely need Complete. Core also stops at 3 locations and 10 departments. For a team of 15 to 25 on Slack the minimum is good value; for a team of five, cheaper per-user tools cost less.
