7shifts is built for restaurants and priced per location. Cloxbi works for every team — flat price, every feature included, no per-location math.
7shifts is great if you run a restaurant and want restaurant-specific tools. Everyone else ends up paying for features they don't need — per location.
From $29/mo for up to 30 users
One price covers your whole team — not per location, not per user. Snap a photo of your existing schedule and we build it. Clone a week. Approve PTO. Ask Cloxbi™ to fill a gap in plain English.
From $44.99/location/mo (Essentials) to $149.99/location/mo (Premium)
7shifts is purpose-built for restaurants, so it has tools like tip pooling and POS integrations. But pricing scales per location, and the useful features like PTO and drag-and-drop scheduling live on higher tiers.
One charges by team size. One charges by location — per month.
Every Cloxbi feature is on every plan. 7shifts gates the good stuff behind Pro and Premium tiers.
