Shiftbase charges per employee with a free plan for 15 users at 1 location. Cloxbi charges by team size — flat price, every feature included, unlimited locations.
Shiftbase's per-employee billing compounds fast. Cloxbi Growth covers up to 75 users for $49/mo flat — with unlimited locations and no headcount math.
From $29/mo for up to 30 users
One price covers your whole team — not per employee, not per location. 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.
Free (up to 15 employees, 1 location) · $4/employee/mo on paid plans
Shiftbase's free plan is limited to 15 employees at a single location. On paid plans, pricing is per employee. A 30-person team costs $120/mo minimum. For the same price, Cloxbi Growth covers up to 75 users with unlimited locations and every feature included.
One charges by team size. One charges per employee — the math gets ugly fast.
Every Cloxbi feature is on every plan. Shiftbase has a solid free plan for small teams, but paid pricing scales fast.
