Timetastic review

Timetastic is a staff leave-management tool with rota planning and time clocking options. Employees can request time off, managers can approve or decline requests, and staff can check their allowance, remaining leave and usage by leave type. A shared absence calendar displays bank holidays, leave and team absences; staff also receive email notifications when requests are approved.

For teams that need more than leave planning, Timetastic offers shift planning through Timetastic Rota and time clocking to track attendance and prepare timesheets for payroll. The pricing page lists three monthly, per-user options: Business at $1.50, Pro at $2.50, and Rota & Time Clock at $5.50. Each includes a 30-day free trial, no contract and the option to cancel anytime. The page does not list annual prices.

Timetastic covers the routine leave workflow in one place: staff submit requests, managers make the decision, and the team can see who is away. Allowance balances and leave usage by type give employees a way to check their remaining time without relying on a manager to look it up. Email notifications for approved requests help keep the process moving.

The shared absence calendar is useful for planning around bank holidays and overlapping leave. For teams that also need shift scheduling and attendance records, the product offers rota planning and time clocking, with timesheets prepared for payroll. The pricing page lists Rota building, time clocking and timesheets in the Rota & Time Clock plan at $5.50 per user per month.

The entry price is low by the listed plans: Business starts at $1.50 per user per month, with Pro at $2.50. All three listed plans include a 30-day trial, no contract and cancellation anytime, so teams can assess the fit without signing an annual term.

The main pricing drawback is that the lowest price does not cover every listed use case. Rota building, time clocking and timesheets are explicitly included in the $5.50 Rota & Time Clock plan, which is $4 more per user per month than Business. Teams comparing costs should budget against their user count and required plan, not just the $1.50 starting price.

The pricing page lists monthly, month-to-month billing but no annual prices. It also does not spell out the feature differences between Business and Pro, or publish seat caps, usage limits or other plan caps in the published details. That makes it hard to judge what Pro adds for its extra $1 per user per month, or whether a particular team will hit a limit. There is no free plan; the listed way to try the product is a 30-day trial. Timetastic may suit straightforward leave planning, but buyers needing a precise feature-by-plan comparison should get those details before switching.

Timetastic’s listed prices are per user, per month, with month-to-month billing: Business is $1.50, Pro is $2.50, and Rota & Time Clock is $5.50. The pricing page lists a 30-day free trial, no contract and cancellation anytime for each plan. It does not list a free plan.

The jump from Business to Pro is $1 per user monthly. Moving from Pro to Rota & Time Clock adds another $3 per user monthly; that tier lists rota building, time clocking and timesheets. For a 20-person team, that last step adds $60 a month compared with Pro, before any taxes or other costs. No add-ons are listed in the published pricing information.

The pricing page does not show annual prices, so there’s no published annual rate to compare with the monthly option. If you need shift planning and attendance records, budget for the $5.50 tier rather than assuming those features come with the cheaper leave-planning plans.

The published product information doesn’t describe an import process, migration service or supported data formats. It also doesn’t say whether you can export leave history, balances, staff records or rota data. Before switching, ask Timetastic what can be imported and exported, and check that your current allowances, leave types and approval rules can be represented. Keep a copy of existing records until you’ve checked the new setup.

The pricing information says there’s no contract and you can cancel anytime, but it doesn’t explain what happens to data after cancellation or how long it remains available. Confirm those terms before moving records or ending a subscription. We weren’t given Reddit posts or comments about Timetastic, so we can’t responsibly report what users say prompts them to leave. For a move away, get export details and a clear data-retention answer first; neither is established in the published sources.
