$99 once · self-hosted · your data on your server

3 months of Vacation Tracker costs what Leavora costs once (it bills in EUR, so this is approximate).

Buy once

How we counted: Stored at the lowest published price: Core billed yearly, $550 a year for 1 to 25 users ($45.83 a month; month to month it is $50, as 1 to 25 users bill as 25). Re-read 2026-10-11 in the page's own pricing script (first Core annual bucket { maxUsers: 25, basePrice: 550 }), where the symbol 'is resolved at runtime (geo detection)' over one set of numbers. The '$1 per user, $25 minimum' read on 2026-09-05 is now only HTML placeholder text.

How Vacation Tracker pricing grows

Vacation Tracker charges per user, with annual-plan rates set by which team-size tier the buyer's headcount falls into.

“Annual plans are priced in user tiers, so your rate is based on the range your team falls into rather than your exact headcount.”, their own page, read 2026-09-26

What Vacation Tracker does that we don't

Vacation Tracker runs leave requests inside Slack and Microsoft Teams, where the team already works.

Who should stay with Vacation Tracker

Leavora has employee self-service too: invite someone from their record and they see their own balances and history and request leave, and an administrator decides. Stay with Vacation Tracker if you want requests made from inside Slack or Microsoft Teams — Leavora works in the browser and its installable app.

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

Why owning beats renting Vacation Tracker.

One payment

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

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in Vacation Tracker'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 Vacation Tracker.

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.
