Paid plans start at $1.70/mo. There's also a free plan.
Sling's employee scheduling software starts with a free plan for up to 30 users. The paid tiers are priced per user per month: Premium is $2 monthly or $1.70 with annual billing; Business is $4 monthly or $3.40 annually. Free includes basic scheduling, but mobile time tracking and labor cost management are on Premium, while reports and PTO management are on Business. Sling lists a 15-day free trial, but the published pricing details don't say which plan it applies to.

02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Per-user billing
Premium and Business are priced per user per month, so the total depends on how many employees need paid access.
Annual billing trade-off
The lower rates require annual billing: Premium drops from $2 to $1.70 per user/month, and Business from $4 to $3.40.
Free-plan ceiling
Free covers up to 30 users. Teams above that limit need to consider a paid plan.
Feature gates
Mobile time tracking and labor cost management start on Premium; reports and PTO management are listed under Business.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Small teams needing basic scheduling | Free | It includes shift scheduling, time-off requests, available shifts and private messaging for up to 30 users. |
| Teams tracking time and labor costs | Premium | It adds mobile time tracking, labor cost management and overtime tracking. |
| Teams needing reports and PTO management | Business | It includes reports, PTO management, kiosk time tracking and no-show and sick call-out tracking. |
04Is Sling worth the money?
Sling looks like good value if your main need is employee scheduling: the Free plan covers basic scheduling for up to 30 users, and paid plans start at $1.70 per user/month with annual billing. The catch is that key capabilities are split across tiers: mobile time tracking is Premium, while reports and PTO management are Business. Check those gates against your workflow before comparing the headline price with other workforce tools.
Sling pricing FAQ

What is the downside to Sling TV?
This pricing page covers Sling employee scheduling at getsling.com, not Sling TV. The published information doesn't describe Sling TV's channels, packages or limitations, so we can't assess its downsides from these sources. Check a current Sling TV source before comparing its plans.
How does Sling TV compare to YouTube TV?
The available pricing information is for Sling's employee scheduling software, not Sling TV or YouTube TV. It doesn't include either TV service's prices, channel lineups or features, so it isn't enough to make a reliable comparison between them.
Does Sling TV have local channels?
The published information doesn't cover Sling TV or its channel lineup. It describes employee scheduling features such as shift planning, time tracking and team messaging. We can't confirm whether Sling TV carries local channels from this source; check Sling TV's current channel information for that answer.
