The self-hosted Timetastic alternative
Leavora — Self-hosted staff leave & PTO — accruals, working-day requests, approvals, and live balances. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Timetastic every month.
Stop renting Timetastic
22 months of Timetastic equals this one-time price.
Assumption: 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 with you
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. Full honest limitations are on the 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 a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Leavora vs Timetastic comparison.
