The panel's verdict
gastromatic is hospitality and retail employee-scheduling software from vertical cloud solution GmbH, Darmstadt; its pricing page counts more than 12,000 businesses. Sovereignty, at 5 to 7, and payroll and integrations, 4 to 7, score highest; payroll is where the judges split: the shift manager scores 7, crediting payroll preparation in Starter, interfaces and surcharges in Professional, a fully integrated payroll add-on and a real-time API with named HR tools; the payroll officer scores 4 on no named external payroll system and no lock step before transmission. Sovereignty pairs a German contracting entity and AWS in Frankfurt with Google LLC in Frankfurt as a primary storage option for the revenue book and automated scheduling, US providers in the processor list, and no public information on the app's chain. Working time rules, the weakest counted criterion, scores 3 to 4: break rules and surcharges are configurable, but no daily-maximum or 11-hour-rest check is documented. Roster planning scores 4 to 6 on promised fully automated scheduling with no documented method. Pricing transparency scores 1 to 2; no tier is publicly priced.
Speaks for it
- Payroll preparation sits in the Starter tier, with payroll interfaces, surcharges and exports for payroll and controlling added in Professional
- A fully integrated payroll add-on is offered with free setup and personal handling by a case worker
- An open real-time API names Personio, softgarden, Belonio and hotelkit, with cash registers and booking systems stated as connectable
- An employee app with 2,000+ reviews is included from Starter, with mobile time capture and documents signed directly in the app added in Professional
- Storage sits on AWS servers in Frankfurt am Main under the German contracting entity vertical cloud solution GmbH, HRB 92563, and stored data is deleted 80 days after trial end or contract termination
Held against it
- We found no public information on checks for the statutory daily maximum or the 11-hour rest period, on Minijob earnings limits, or on whether a violation blocks publication or merely warns
- We found no public information naming an external payroll system such as DATEV, on wage types per surcharge, or on a lock step before transmission
- Fully automated scheduling is sold as an add-on, but we found no public information on which demand figures drive it or on qualifications, templates and open shifts
- We found no public information on availability entry, shift-swap requests, open-shift claiming or push notifications in the employee app
- We found no public price for Starter or Professional, and no prices for add-ons such as automated scheduling, the document creator or the payroll service; Enterprise is "Preis auf Anfrage"
Best for
- You run hospitality or retail shifts and want payroll preparation inside the scheduler from the Starter tier, with payroll interfaces and surcharges in Professional and a fully integrated payroll add-on with free setup available
- Your HR stack already includes Personio, softgarden, Belonio or hotelkit and you want scheduling data reachable over an open real-time API
- Your staff work from their phones: an app with 2,000+ reviews ships from Starter, and Professional adds mobile time capture and documents signed directly in the app
- Your procurement requires a German contracting entity and named Frankfurt storage — the pages show vertical cloud solution GmbH, HRB 92563, and AWS servers in Frankfurt am Main
Avoid if
- You must budget or approve an annual invoice before a sales conversation — the pricing page publishes tiers and add-ons without any price figure, and Enterprise is "Preis auf Anfrage"
- Your works agreement requires rest periods and overtime rules enforced in the plan — ask the vendor: the public pages we read do not show it
- Your payroll runs through an external bureau — payroll interfaces appear in Professional without a named system, and the payroll officer scored the handoff 4 on the missing lock step and wage types per surcharge
- You need the automated plan's demand source and method documented — roster planning scores 4 to 6 on a promised fully automated scheduling add-on whose method the captured pages do not explain
The scores
Roster building & demand planning
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How a plan gets built across locations, roles and qualifications — templates, staffing requirements, forecasting from sales or occupancy, and whether the product proposes a roster or only draws one.
0 — A shared calendar of shifts; no templates, no roles or qualifications, and no notion of how many people a shift needs.
3 — Shift templates and a weekly grid per location, with roles attached, but staffing needs and qualifications are the planner's memory rather than the system's.
5 — Templates, roles and qualifications, staffing requirements per shift, open shifts, multiple locations and departments, and coverage gaps shown before publication.
8 — Demand-based planning from a named data source (POS revenue, footfall, occupancy or bookings), automatic roster proposals the planner can accept or adjust, labour cost shown against budget while planning, and cross-location staff sharing.
10 — Planning closes the loop: forecast, proposed roster and actual hours compared in one place, the proposal explains which rule or demand figure drove each assignment, and the vendor documents the forecasting method rather than calling it AI.
The Shift Manager
The pricing pages promise "vollständig automatisierte Dienstplanung" with displays of over- and under-capacity, so the system proposes the plan itself and shows me when a shift is short-staffed — the two things I need most on a Thursday night. But we found no public information on shift templates, qualification gating for till or kitchen roles, open shifts, or planning across locations, so I can only credit it partway. 2
The Operations Director
Fully automated scheduling with over- and under-capacity display is sold as an add-on, and a revenue book plus connectable cash registers and booking systems exist, so the raw ingredients for demand-based planning are on the pages. Nothing captured states that the plan actually draws on POS or occupancy data, shows labour cost against budget while the plan is still editable, or documents the method behind the automation — I read "automatisierte Dienstplanung" as a claim, not a method. We found no public information on roles, qualifications, open shifts, staffing requirements per shift or cross-site staff sharing, though the Enterprise tier speaks of management across locations and structures. 2 3
The Payroll Officer
The pages show fully automated scheduling with over- and under-capacity indicators and an Enterprise tier framed for management across locations and structures — real proposal power, not just a weekly grid. But I found no public information on qualifications, templates, open shifts or which demand figure drives the automated plan; a revenue journal feature appears only in a privacy note on storage, never as the stated driver of the roster. 2 3
The Works Council Advocate
The pricing page promises fully automated roster building with over- and under-capacity displayed, so the system proposes a plan rather than only drawing one. But we found no public information on qualification matching, staffing templates, open shifts or which demand figure drives the automatic proposal — and an automated distribution of hours whose logic is undocumented is exactly what I would have to negotiate under co-determination before signing anything. 2
The Frontline Employee
The captured pages promise a fully automated roster with displays of over- and under-capacity, so the system proposes a plan and flags coverage rather than just drawing a grid; we found no public information on templates, qualifications, staffing requirements per shift, work across multiple locations, or which demand figures feed the automatic plan. 2
The Skeptic
The pricing page sells a fully-automated scheduling add-on with over- and under-capacity display and promises planning metrics in the Professional tier, so the system proposes rather than merely draws. What drives the proposal stays dark: we found no public information on a named demand source — POS revenue, footfall, occupancy or bookings — nor on qualifications, staffing requirements per shift, templates, open shifts or cross-location sharing. 2
Working-time law & collective agreements
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the roster knows the rules it is subject to — ArbZG rest periods and maximum hours, youth and maternity protection, Minijob earnings limits, Tarifvertrag and works-agreement rules, surcharges — and whether it enforces them, warns, or leaves them to the export.
0 — No working-time rules described anywhere; the pages mention no check on daily hours, breaks or rest periods.
3 — Compliance is claimed as "supported" but the pages name no specific rule, or only a generic overtime warning exists.
5 — Named checks for the ArbZG daily maximum, the 11-hour rest period and breaks, plus a Minijob earnings warning, shown to the planner before publication; whether the check blocks or only warns is stated.
8 — Configurable rule sets per contract or employee group covering Tarifvertrag surcharges (night, Sunday, holiday), time accounts, youth-protection limits and works-agreement rules, with the planner's override of a violation recorded and reasoned.
10 — The rules are modelled as law, not as warnings: maintained rule sets for named collective agreements, sector-specific exceptions (care, hospitality) documented with the statute they rely on, every override attributable, and published guidance mapping each feature to the provision it serves.
The Shift Manager
The Professional tier names "Individuelle Zeiterfassungs- und Pausenregeln" and Zuschläge, so break rules and surcharges are configurable in the system rather than living only in my head. We found no public information on the eleven-hour rest period, the daily maximum, a Minijob earnings warning, youth protection or named Tarifvertrag rule sets, and nothing states whether any check appears before I publish rather than after the inspection. 2
The Operations Director
The Professional tier names configurable time-recording and break rules, surcharges, eAU and Sofortmeldung, which is more specific than a blanket compliance claim. We found no public information on checks for the ArbZG daily maximum, the 11-hour rest period, Minijob earnings limits, youth or maternity protection, or Tarifvertrag rule sets — and nothing states whether any check warns or blocks before publication. 2
The Payroll Officer
The Professional tier names surcharges, eAU and individual time-capture and break rules, which is more than a generic compliance claim — break rules and surcharges are concrete. I found no public information on checks for the statutory daily maximum or the eleven-hour rest period, on Minijob earnings warnings, or on collective-agreement surcharge sets, and nothing states whether a violation blocks publication or merely warns. 2
The Works Council Advocate
Individual time-recording and break rules plus surcharge handling are named as configurable, which hints at hospitality Tarif practice, but no actual legal check is described — we found no public information on the daily maximum hours, the eleven-hour rest period, Minijob limits or youth protection, nor whether anything blocks a violation rather than merely recording it. Distributing overtime and rest periods under co-determination requires the rules to sit in the plan, not just in the payroll export. 2
The Frontline Employee
The Professional tier names individual time-recording and break rules plus surcharges, so breaks and surcharges are configured in the product rather than promised in a slogan; we found no public information on rest periods or maximum daily hours under the ArbZG, Minijob earnings limits, youth or maternity protection, or whether a violation blocks publication or only warns. 2
The Skeptic
Individually configurable time-recording and break rules plus surcharges are named Professional-tier features, which is more concrete than a bare compliance claim. Still, we found no public information on checks for the ArbZG daily maximum or the 11-hour rest period, no Minijob earnings warning, no collective-agreement or youth-protection rule sets, and nothing saying whether a violation blocks publication or merely warns. 2
Mobile self-service for deskless staff
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the employee on the shop floor actually gets: a mobile app to read the roster, enter availability, request and accept swaps, claim open shifts and clock in — in their language, on their own device or a shared one.
0 — No employee access; the roster is printed or sent as a PDF.
3 — A read-only app or web view of one's own shifts, with changes still requested by phone or chat.
5 — Mobile app with availability entry, absence requests, shift-swap requests with manager approval, open-shift claiming and push notification of changes.
8 — Swaps and open shifts resolved under the rule set (qualifications and rest periods checked before approval), clock-in by app or shared terminal with offline handling, multilingual interface, and team communication that keeps shift talk out of private messengers.
10 — Self-service is designed for people who never open a laptop: swap and cover flows that resolve without a manager where the rules allow, accessibility and language coverage stated, use on a shared or personal device both supported, and employees able to see and export the data held about them.
The Shift Manager
Every tier ships a Mitarbeiter-App with 2000+ reviews, and Professional adds mobile Zeiterfassung plus documents signed directly in the app — so staff clock in and sign on their own device, well past a read-only PDF. We found no public information on availability entry, shift-swap requests, open-shift claiming, push notifications or language coverage, which is exactly what my Saturday-morning sick-call routine runs on. 2
The Operations Director
The employee app ships in the base package and carries 2000+ reviews, Professional adds stationary and mobile time capture, and documents are requested and signed directly in the app — more than a read-only view. We found no public information on availability entry, shift-swap requests with approval, open-shift claiming, push notifications of changes, multilingual coverage or shared-device use. 2
The Payroll Officer
Employees get a real, widely used app with document requests and e-signatures signed directly in the app, and the Professional tier adds mobile time capture alongside stationary terminals — more than a read-only view. I found no public information on availability entry, shift-swap requests, open-shift claiming, push notifications of changes, or language coverage. 2
The Works Council Advocate
An employee app with over 2000 reviews is included from the smallest package upward, and mobile time capture plus in-app document signing are evidenced at the higher tier, which is more than a read-only view. We found no public information on availability entry, shift swaps, open-shift claiming, push notification of changes, or what employees can see and export of the data held about them — for people who never open a laptop, the app's actual powers are the crux. 2
The Frontline Employee
A Mitarbeiter App ships in the Starter tier and carries 2000+ Bewertungen, Professional adds mobile time capture, and employees sign documents directly in the app — but we found no public information on marking availability, requesting shift swaps, claiming open shifts, push notifications of changes, or any language beyond German; from my phone, an app I can only read is not self-service. 2
The Skeptic
The employee app ships from the cheapest tier with 2,000+ store reviews, and it does more than display: mobile time capture and document requests with in-app e-signature are documented for Professional. We found no public information on availability entry, shift-swap or cover requests, open-shift claiming, push notifications, offline handling, shared terminals or supported languages. 2
Works council & employee data
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether the product can be introduced under co-determination (BetrVG § 87) — role-based visibility, what is logged, which monitoring can be switched off, retention of availability, absence and location data — and whether the vendor supplies what a works agreement needs.
0 — No roles or visibility settings described, no statement of what is stored, logged or retained, and GPS or activity tracking presented without any mention of switching it off.
3 — Basic admin and employee roles exist, but visibility of absence reasons or location data is not configurable and retention is unstated.
5 — Configurable roles limiting who sees whose data, GPS and similar tracking optional and off by default or stated as switchable, a published DPA, and a retention or deletion statement for employee records.
8 — Fine-grained visibility (absence reasons hidden from colleagues and line managers where not needed), an audit log of who viewed and changed an individual's data, configurable deletion periods, and documentation the vendor offers for works-council approval.
10 — Data minimisation is designed in and evidenced: a model works agreement or feature-by-feature data inventory published, no performance or behaviour scoring of individuals, monitoring functions individually deactivatable, and deletion executed automatically per configured period.
The Shift Manager
"Individuelle Rechtemodelle" when several people plan gives me configurable rights, and the privacy policy states concrete deletion — 80 days after trial end or contract termination, seven days for logfiles — plus an external data-protection officer and standard contractual clauses for third-country transfers. We found no public information on an audit log of who viewed an employee's data, on switching off location or monitoring functions, or on any documentation offered for works-council approval. 2 3
The Operations Director
Individual rights models when several people plan, plus concrete deletion terms — customer data fully deleted 80 days after trial end or contract termination, logfiles seven days — and an external data protection officer give a works council something concrete to examine. We found no public information on visibility limits for absence reasons, an audit log of who viewed or changed an individual's data, configurable deletion periods, a processor agreement, or any vendor documentation offered for works-council approval. 2 3
The Payroll Officer
Individual rights models for multi-planner setups and a stated deletion of data 80 days after contract end give a works council something to start from, and third-country transfers are framed with standard contractual clauses. I found no public information on an audit log of who viewed an employee's data, configurable visibility of absence reasons, a published data-processing agreement, or documentation for works-council approval; the captured privacy statements concentrate on the website's marketing stack. 2 3
The Works Council Advocate
Individual rights models for multiple planners exist, and the privacy policy states deletion of data eighty days after trial end or termination, with log files deleted after seven days and an external data protection officer named. But we found no public information on whether absence reasons can be hidden from colleagues, on an audit log of who viewed or changed an individual's data, or on any documentation prepared for works-council approval; nothing here is yet something I could take into a works agreement. 2 3
The Frontline Employee
Individual rights models for teams with several planners and a stated deletion of customer data 80 days after the contract ends give a works council a starting point; we found no public information on hiding absence reasons from colleagues, an audit log of who viewed or changed an employee's data, configurable deletion periods for availability or absence records, or materials offered for works-council approval. 2 3
The Skeptic
Individual rights models for when several people plan are a Professional feature, and the privacy policy states deletion of stored data 80 days after trial end or contract termination, seven-day logfiles, encryption and a named external data protection officer. But we found no public information on a view-access audit log, on switching monitoring functions off, on retention of absence and availability data specifically, or on documentation the vendor offers for a works-council agreement. 2 3
Payroll handoff & integrations
panel disagrees
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How planned and worked hours, surcharges and absences reach payroll — DATEV, Lohn und Gehalt, the tax adviser — and how the roster connects to the POS, HR and time systems a shift business already runs.
0 — No payroll path and no integrations; the month leaves as a spreadsheet someone retypes.
3 — Generic CSV export said to suit payroll, with no named payroll system and no surcharge handling.
5 — A named payroll integration or documented export (e.g. DATEV Lohn und Gehalt or LODAS) covering hours, absences and surcharges, plus at least one named POS or HR integration.
8 — Vendor-maintained payroll integrations with a lock step before transmission, wage types mapped per surcharge, POS integrations feeding forecasting, an HR master-data sync, and a documented API.
10 — Payroll is designed for, not exported to: several named payroll systems maintained, retro corrections after the close handled, the tax adviser given scoped access, and a versioned public API with webhooks and a deprecation policy.
The Shift Manager
Payroll is designed in rather than bolted on: Starter already includes Lohnvorbereitung, Professional adds Lohnschnittstellen with Zuschläge and exports for Lohn & Controlling plus "Kasse & Buchungsysteme anbindbar", and there is a fully integrated gastromatic Lohnabrechnung add-on with free setup and a named case worker. An open real-time API with named HR connections (Personio, softgarden, Belonio, hotelkit) covers the systems a shift business already runs; we found no public information on a lock step before transmission, DATEV or other named external payroll systems, or retro corrections after the close. 2
The Operations Director
Payroll preparation sits in the base tier, Professional adds payroll interfaces, surcharges, eAU and exports for payroll and controlling, and a fully integrated payroll service with free setup is sold as an add-on; named HR integrations (Personio, softgarden, Belonio, hotelkit) run over an open real-time API and cash registers are stated as connectable. No payroll system is named on the captured pages — DATEV or otherwise — and we found no public information on a lock step before transmission, wage-type mapping per surcharge, an HR master-data sync, or published API documentation. 2
The Payroll Officer
Payroll preparation sits in the base tier, Professional adds payroll interfaces, surcharges and exports for payroll and controlling, tills and booking systems can be connected, four HR tools are named with an open API, and a fully integrated payroll service is offered. But I found no named payroll system such as DATEV or Lohn und Gehalt, no wage types mapped per surcharge, no lock step before transmission, and nothing on corrections after the month closes — an unnamed export is not a designed handoff. 2
The Works Council Advocate
Payroll preparation sits in every package, a fully integrated payroll service with a dedicated clerk is offered as an add-on, and an open real-time API names Personio, softgarden, Belonio and hotelkit, with surcharges and eAU handled at the professional tier. However the payroll interfaces themselves carry no system name — we found no public information on DATEV or other wage accounting connections, on a lock step before transmission, or on wage types mapped per surcharge. 2
The Frontline Employee
Payroll preparation starts in the entry tier, Professional adds payroll interfaces, surcharges and exports for payroll and controlling, the pages name Personio, softgarden, Belonio and hotelkit via an open API, POS and booking systems are said to be connectable, and gastromatic runs its own integrated payroll add-on with free setup; we found no public information on a named external payroll system, a lock step before transmission, or documentation for the API. 2
The Skeptic
The tier ladder is visible: payroll preparation in Starter; payroll interfaces, surcharges and exports for payroll and controlling in Professional; a fully-integrated in-house payroll service as an add-on with free setup; plus an open API naming HR tools such as Personio, softgarden, Belonio and hotelkit, with POS and booking systems merely "anbindbar". We found no public information naming a payroll system such as DATEV or LODAS, and nothing on a lock step before transmission, wage types per surcharge, or retro corrections after the close. 2
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Where the employee data lives, who the contracting entity is, who the subprocessors are, and whether that is documented rather than assumed. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline; weighted seriously here, because a scheduling tool holds availability, absence and often location data about employees who had no say in the vendor.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting region unstated or non-EU, subprocessors not named.
3 — EU hosting offered as an option or claimed without a provider, while the contracting entity is non-EU or the subprocessor list is absent.
5 — EU hosting as standard and an EU contracting entity, but the subprocessor chain (messaging, push notification, analytics, support) includes non-EU providers without an explained safeguard.
8 — EU or DACH hosting with a named data-centre provider, EU contracting entity, full subprocessor list published, and any non-EU processing — push notification services included — named with its legal basis.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: vendor, entity, hosting and every subprocessor in the EU, certification published, and a DPA that covers the employee data the app collects on personal devices.
The Shift Manager
The legal notice names vertical cloud solution GmbH in Darmstadt (HRB 92563) as the contracting party and the privacy policy places storage on AWS in Frankfurt, with Google in Frankfurt as primary storage for the revenue-book and automated-scheduling functions — an EU entity with EU hosting. The independently sourced sovereignty attributes mark jurisdiction, ownership and data residency as unconfirmed, and the disclosed chain includes US providers such as Google Analytics with data going to US servers, MailChimp, Zoom and Facebook, with standard contractual clauses named as the safeguard; we found no public information on a complete product subprocessor list, push-notification processing or certifications. 3 4
The Operations Director
The vendor's own imprint shows a German GmbH in Darmstadt (HRB 92563), and the privacy policy names AWS Frankfurt as storage, Google in Frankfurt as an alternate primary store for scheduling and revenue-book data, and a processor list running from HubSpot Dublin and Demodesk Munich to Zoom, MailChimp and Google in the US, with standard contractual clauses and Art. 44–49 GDPR stated as the basis for third-country transfers. That is a real EU core with named safeguards, but the independently collected sovereignty attributes record residency and subprocessor exposure as unconfirmed, and we found no public information on the app's own chain — push notification services in particular. 3 4
The Payroll Officer
The contracting entity is a German GmbH with a Darmstadt register court, hosting is AWS in Frankfurt am Main, and the privacy policy names its processors and grounds US transfers in standard contractual clauses. But the named processors are largely the marketing stack, the primary storage option for the revenue book and automated scheduling sits with a US provider, and I found no public information on the product's own processor chain such as push or support services, or on any certification. 3 4
The Works Council Advocate
A German company registered in Darmstadt, hosting on AWS in Frankfurt named in the privacy policy, and a subprocessor list with locations plus standard contractual clauses for the US services such as Zoom and MailChimp — that is more documentation than most. Two reservations: the revenue book and automatic scheduling may store data with Google LLC in Frankfurt, a US company, and we found no public information on push-notification or support subprocessors, on a customer data processing agreement, or on published certification. 3 4
The Frontline Employee
The captured pages show a German company (vertical cloud solution GmbH, Darmstadt), data on Amazon Web Services servers in Frankfurt am Main with Google in Frankfurt as a primary storage option for planning features, and a privacy policy that names its processors and relies on Standard Contractual Clauses for US services such as Zoom, MailChimp and Facebook; we found no public information on the company's ownership, on the processors behind the app itself such as push notifications, or on a published certification. 3 4
The Skeptic
Hosting is EU as standard — AWS in Frankfurt — with Google LLC servers in Frankfurt named as primary storage where the revenue book or automated scheduling is used, and the contracting entity is a Darmstadt GmbH with its register number published. The named subprocessors under standard contractual clauses (Zoom, MailChimp, Facebook, Google, HubSpot) cover website, newsletter and webinar traffic, but we found no public information on the scheduling app's own chain, such as push notification or app analytics; the independently sourced attributes also leave ownership and overall subprocessor exposure unknown. 3 4
Pricing transparency
not rated — the vendor publishes no price
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual invoice for their headcount and locations — including the time clock, payroll export, forecasting and other modules sold as add-ons — from public pages alone.
0 — No public prices at all; every tier is a sales conversation.
3 — A per-employee headline exists, but which features sit in which tier, the add-on modules, or a minimum seat or location count are unpriced or unmentioned.
5 — Per-employee or per-location prices public for the main tiers with the billing period stated, but at least one commonly needed piece (time clock, payroll export, forecasting, terminal hardware) is an unpriced add-on.
8 — Every tier and add-on priced publicly with the per-employee maths, how inactive or seasonal staff are counted, minimum term and VAT treatment stated; only genuinely custom work lacks a number.
10 — Complete price computability: a calculator or table producing the annual invoice for a given headcount, location count and module selection, including hardware, onboarding and renewal terms.
The Shift Manager
The pricing page publishes what sits in Starter versus Professional and names the add-ons, which helps me see where the money goes — but we found no public price figure for any tier, and Enterprise is simply "Preis auf Anfrage". I cannot compute an annual invoice for my headcount from these pages; nothing states per-employee maths, the billing period, minimum seats or how seasonal staff are counted. 2
The Operations Director
The pricing page lays out Starter and Professional feature lists and puts Enterprise at "Preis auf Anfrage", but the captures contain no euro figure for any tier, no per-employee maths, and no statement on how seasonal staff are counted, minimum terms or VAT treatment. A buyer cannot compute an annual invoice from what is public, and the add-ons — automated scheduling, the API, payroll, the document creator — appear without prices. 2 3
The Payroll Officer
The pricing page publishes three tiers with feature lists, but I found no public price for the Starter or Professional tiers, and Enterprise is quoted only as "Preis auf Anfrage". The add-ons — integrated payroll, automated scheduling, document creator, the API — carry no prices in the captured pages, so no annual invoice can be computed from public material. 2
The Works Council Advocate
Tier composition is public, with Starter and Professional features listed in detail, but we found no public price figures for either tier, Enterprise is quoted only on request, and the add-ons — automatic scheduling, the API, the document creator, payroll — carry no prices. Anyone asked to approve this budget, works council included, would be approving a sales conversation. 2
The Frontline Employee
The packaging is described openly — Starter and Professional list their features and a module comparison is published — but we found no public price for any tier, no per-employee figure and no billing period; Enterprise reads "Preis auf Anfrage", and we found no public information on prices for add-ons such as automated scheduling, the documents creator or the payroll service. 2
The Skeptic
The pricing page does allocate features to tiers — stationary time capture from Starter, mobile capture, surcharges and payroll interfaces in Professional — and Enterprise is explicitly "Preis auf Anfrage". But we found no public price figure for Starter or Professional at all, nor anything on billing period, how seasonal or inactive staff are counted, minimum term or VAT treatment. 2
