22 months of Timetastic costs what Leavora costs once.

Buy once

How we counted: Per-seat monthly and the cheapest anchor on the market. Figure shown for 3 staff - break-even shortens with team size (10 staff: about 4 months). Leavora is one payment for unlimited staff. Re-read 2026-09-07, unchanged: three plans, one rate each, no annual toggle and no free tier - 'Three super simple price plans, each with a 30-day free trial, no credit card required.'

How Timetastic pricing grows

Timetastic bills per user per month on every plan, so the cost rises as headcount grows.

What Timetastic does that we don't

Timetastic sells a dearer Rota and Time Clock tier that turns phone clock-ins into payroll-ready timesheets.

“You plan your team's shifts, they clock in from their phone, and every work hour lands on a timesheet that's ready for payroll.”, their own page

Who should stay with Timetastic

If you need payroll-ready timesheets and wage calculations bundled with leave tracking, stay with Timetastic — Leavora tracks leave only and never calculates or pays wages.

What Leavora deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.

Why owning beats renting Timetastic.

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Timetastic's cloud.

No plan ceilings

Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Leavora vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off Timetastic.

Is Leavora payroll?

No — it tracks leave entitlement, requests, approvals, and balances only. It never calculates wages, touches cards or bank rails, or initiates a payment, so it has zero payroll and zero payment surface.

How exact are the balances?

Exact by construction: leave is stored in integer centidays (a hundredth of a day), so half-days and monthly accrual are precise and a full year's accrual lands exactly on the entitlement. The shipped test suite covers accrual, carryover and both DST transitions — run it yourself with php tests/run.php.

Can I use a fiscal leave year, not the calendar year?

Yes — the leave year is configurable (calendar or a fiscal start such as April 1), and carryover is capped at that boundary.

Does it handle half-days and public holidays?

Yes — requests can be half-days, and a company holiday list plus your configured weekend are excluded from every working-day count.
