Schedaddle vs Heyshift

Schedaddle is retail employee scheduling software built for the single-store manager, while Heyshift is a USA-focused, multi-location scheduling and attendance platform with finance-week labor context, used across restaurants, retail, hospitality, healthcare, and warehouses. It is priced per seat, per month across Starter, Pro, and Business tiers (AI features on the upper tiers) — locations and employees are unlimited, but you pay for every seat, so your bill grows as you add staff.

Why single-store retailers choose Schedaddle

  • Per-location flat pricing instead of per-seat: Heyshift's Starter, Pro, and Business tiers all bill per seat, so your cost climbs with headcount, while Schedaddle stays flat per store with a free employee app.

  • The Smart Shift Builder auto-drafts a coverage-complete week and rotates openers and closers fairly on a 4-week rolling balance, where Heyshift centers on manual building with copy-week, templates, and bulk publish.

  • Fair Workweek compliance built into the schedule — advance-notice, rest, and predictability-pay flags for your US city or state — which Heyshift’s labor tooling (scheduled-vs-actual cost, finance-week rollups) does not cover.

  • A built-in time clock with geofenced and Face/Touch ID punch-in on a kiosk, alongside mobile attendance.

  • Multi-country labor-law reference built in — overtime thresholds, break rules, and public-holiday rates across 16 markets — handy if you also run stores outside the US, where Heyshift is US-focused.

Where Heyshift is the better choice

  • Heyshift’s strength is finance-week labor context — scheduled hours vs attendance-based cost set next to revenue — if cost-versus-sales analytics during scheduling is your priority.

  • Broad multi-industry coverage (restaurants, hospitality, healthcare support, warehouses, logistics) if you are not specifically a retailer.
