InShift vs Findmyshift: per person or per team, and what the money buys

Findmyshift has been around since 2004, prices itself per team rather than per person, and gives a small team a free plan and a free time clock. InShift prices per person, keeps payroll inside the rota, and runs any number of locations from one account. This page sets the two side by side with the prices as the two pricing pages showed them on 28 September 2026, and names what each one lacks.

Who each one is for

Findmyshift is one of the oldest online rota tools in Britain, and its pricing is its clearest idea: one flat price per team, whatever the headcount inside the plan’s cap. The free plan takes five members and one manager with a week of history and a week of forward planning; Starter takes twenty members; Business a hundred members and a hundred managers. There is a free time clock station, payroll calculations for hourly, daily and salaried people, shift reminders and group messages, and a list of integrations from Xero to Square. If your team is one group of people under one manager and the headcount is stable, per-team pricing is easy to budget.

InShift is priced per active person, and the money buys the rota, the team app and payroll together: rates per person, premiums as rules, and what is owed at the end of the period, with “Export to Excel” for the accountant. Locations are not capped on the paid plan, a person can work at several of them, and a manager’s role can be limited to their own location. The Free plan is one location with up to ten people.

The rule of thumb: a single team of twenty with a manager or two, who wants a time clock at no extra cost, is well served by Findmyshift’s Starter plan. A business with two or three sites, several managers, and pay that depends on nights and premiums is what InShift is built for.

Several sites

Locations without a cap, and a person who works at two of them

Each site is a location with its own shift types and its own rows, and “All locations” puts them side by side on one screen with the number on shift today at the top of each. A person who covers two sites is switched to “Also works at other locations” and appears in both. A manager’s role can be limited to “My locations”, and the owner sees the “Entire network”. None of it is priced per site.

  • “All locations” or one site; “Week”, “Month”, “Year” and “List” views
  • “Also works at other locations” for a person who covers two sites
  • Roles with “View rota”, “Edit rota”, “Approve time-off” per location
  • “Print all locations” for the walls, “Download Excel” for the accountant

Pay inside the rota

A rate on each person, premiums as rules, and the amount owed at the end of the period

The “Pay” tab of “Payroll” holds each person’s pay model from a date: “Per hour”, “Per shift”, “Monthly salary”, “Shift price” or “Unpaid” for the owner. “Premiums” holds the rules for “Night hours”, “Holiday work” and “Over the daily norm”. “Accruals” shows shifts, hours, premiums, accrued, paid and owed per person, and “Export to Excel” gives the accountant the file.

  • “Per hour”, “Per shift”, “Monthly salary”, “Shift price” or “Unpaid”, effective from a date
  • “Night hours”, “Holiday work”, “Over the daily norm” and other premiums as rules
  • “Accruals”: shifts, scheduled hours, premiums, accrued, paid and owed per person
  • “Export to Excel” for the accountant, “Close period” to lock the month

The team app

A shift you cannot make goes up for a swap, and a colleague takes it

In the InShift app a person offers a shift under “Substitute”, colleagues who can take it see it under “Available swaps” and press “Take shift”, and the manager approves. A “Day off” request goes in with the balance shown. Every published shift and every change arrives as a push, and “Stats” shows the person their hours and “Earned to date” before payday.

  • “Substitute”: “Find a replacement” and “Available swaps” with “Take shift”
  • “Day off” with the balance, approved by the manager
  • “Stats”: shifts, hours, “Earned to date”, “What the total is made of”
  • Push before the shift and on every change; chat and announcements

Moving from Findmyshift to InShift

There is no rota import. People, shift types and the first week are an afternoon for a team of twenty.

  1. 1

    Export your people

    Take the staff list out of Findmyshift as a spreadsheet and paste it into “Add multiple” with a location, a job position and a rate for each person.

  2. 2

    Locations and shift types

    One location per site, the three or four shift types your week is made of, each with its days and times.

  3. 3

    The first week

    Build it by hand from the shift types, check the hours under each name, then “Publish”. From the second week on it is “Copy last week” and the changes.

  4. 4

    The team joins

    “Invite team” prints a code and a QR for everyone who has not joined; the app is on the App Store and Google Play. Run both tools for a month if you want to be sure before you cancel.

Frequently asked questions

Is InShift cheaper than Findmyshift?▾

It depends on the headcount, because the two are priced differently. A team of twenty on Findmyshift’s Starter is $27 a month whatever the twenty do; on InShift the same twenty are $1.99 per person a month, or $1.59 on the yearly plan, with payroll and locations included. Up to five people on one site run on the free plan of either, and InShift’s Free plan goes on to ten. Put your own numbers into both pricing pages.

Does InShift have a time clock like Findmyshift’s time clock station?▾

Yes, it comes with Basic at no extra charge: a tablet by the door shows a code that changes every 30 seconds, people scan it with the app or type a staff number and a PIN, and the “Board” shows who is on site. Pay is still counted from the published rota, with the clocked hours in their own column next to it. Findmyshift includes its time clock station in every plan, the free one too, so on this point the cheaper answer is theirs.

Can I move my rota from Findmyshift to InShift?▾

People, yes: export the staff list and paste it into “Add multiple”. Rotas, no: there is no import of past or future weeks. You build the first week from your shift types and copy it forward. For a team of twenty that is an afternoon, and you can run both tools side by side for a month.

What does Findmyshift have that InShift does not?▾

A time clock at no extra cost in every plan, a longer list of ready integrations (Xero, Slack, Lightspeed, Square, BambooHR, Google Workspace and others), and a flat price per team that does not move when a member joins. If you have twenty people under one manager and want clocking in at one flat team price, that is a strong case.

What does InShift have that Findmyshift’s pages do not list?▾

Locations without a cap, a person who works at several of them, and manager roles limited to their own location. Payroll inside the rota: premiums as rules and the amount owed to each person with “Export to Excel”. Assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT connected through MCP. An interface in English, Ukrainian and Russian. Ask Findmyshift about any of these before you count them as missing.

What does InShift cost?▾

Free for one location and up to 10 people. Beyond that it is $1.99 per person a month, or $1.59 on the yearly plan, billed in packs of 5 people, with locations, payroll, the team app and every module included. The details are on the pricing page.
