Right size for us

It replaced our holiday spreadsheet in an afternoon. Only real gripe is that no payroll, so we run that separately.

Perfect for a small team

Mixed. Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs, but health and safety is a paid add on rather than included.

Killed the holiday spreadsheet

Leave and records cover exactly what a small business needs, and the flat per company price means hiring does not push the cost up. Health and safety is a paid add on rather than included, but we live with it.

Killed the holiday spreadsheet

Being UK built, the statutory leave just works, and the flat per company price means hiring does not push the cost up. You outgrow the simplicity once you pass fifty or so people, but we live with it.

Pros

Cons

You outgrow the simplicity once you pass fifty or so people.
