$24.99/month
Simple flat pricing
|
Businesses that need employee PTO balances, requests, approvals, and records without buying a full HR suite. | Purpose-built for PTO instead of payroll, recruiting, benefits, and enterprise HR layers. |
| BambooHR | Starts at $250/month for 25 or fewer employees | Companies wanting a broader HR platform with employee records, hiring, onboarding, and add-on payroll options. | Much more expensive if you only need PTO tracking. Pricing rises with employees and feature needs. |
| Gusto Plus | $80/month + $12/user/month | Businesses looking for payroll-first HR software with time tracking and broader people operations tools. | Strong payroll product, but PTO tracking is tied to a much larger ongoing software bill. |
| Homebase | Free for limited use; paid plans commonly start around $24/location/month | Hourly teams in retail, restaurants, and shift-based environments that also need scheduling and time clocks. | Great for hourly workforce management, but pricing and features tend to expand by location, payroll, and higher plan tiers. |
| When I Work | Starts at $2.50/user/month single-location or $5/user/month multi-location | Scheduling-heavy businesses that need time off requests alongside shifts, attendance, and team messaging. | Affordable for scheduling, but not as PTO-centered if your main need is recordkeeping, policies, balances, and approvals. |
| Rippling | Usually quote-based; some public comparisons reference pricing starting around $8/employee/month | Companies wanting an all-in-one platform for HR, payroll, IT, device management, and advanced automation. | Powerful, but often overbuilt and quote-driven for teams that only need straightforward PTO tracking. |

When a simple tool is enough
A simple tool is usually enough when the job is narrow, occasional, or handled by a small team that mainly needs a clear answer, a repeatable check, or a lightweight workflow.
When a larger platform is better
A larger platform is usually a better fit when the work requires deep integrations, formal approval chains, high-volume automation, audit programs, or dedicated administrative controls.
