ZoomShift review

ZoomShift is a plain, inexpensive scheduler that covers the basics well. The free Essentials plan handles schedules, reminders, shift confirmation and notes for up to 20 users at one location, scheduling up to two weeks ahead. Starter, at $2 per active team member per month on annual billing or $2.50 monthly, unlocks unlimited users and locations, templates, availability, shift cover requests and swaps, timesheets with a time clock, breaks and PTO tracking, and a payroll report. Premium, at $4 or $5, adds auto-scheduling, overtime warnings, a geofence clock, rules that block early or late clock-ins and a schedule versus timesheet view. It does not try to match Deputy on forecasting or compliance, and its integration list is shorter. For a small retailer or care team that wants swaps and a clock without a large bill, it is a fair, low-cost pick.

Who it is for
