Every approved hour, already invoiced v2.0

It's 4:58 on Friday. Payroll already ran.

Scheduling, attendance and invoicing never disagree — because they were never separate. ShiftWren keeps the hours your team worked, the money they're owed and the invoice you send on one continuous record.

01 — The problem

Your business runs on four systems that have never met.

A shift is rostered in one app, clocked in another, paid in a third, and billed to the client in a fourth. Every hand-off is a place for the numbers to drift — and they do.

What the drift costs, per cycle 6+ hours & the invoice you never sent
01

The hours exist in three places

A shift is planned in the scheduler, clocked on a phone, and typed again into payroll. Three records of the same eight hours, and no agreed answer when they differ.

✓One timesheet feeds the roster, the pay run and the invoice
Costs you twice
02

Billable work never reaches the invoice

Overtime approved on Tuesday and a call-out on Thursday get remembered on Friday, or they don't. The client is billed for what somebody could recall.

✓Approved hours become invoice lines automatically
Silent revenue leak
03

Payroll is a reconciliation project

Export, reformat, re-import, chase the manager who hasn't approved, discover the leave request that never made it across. Then do it again in two weeks.

✓Leave, attendance and pay share one state
6+ hours a cycle
04

Nobody can say who changed the number

A salary edited in a spreadsheet leaves no trace. When an auditor or an employee asks, the answer is a guess — and a guess is not a defence.

✓Every pay record change is attributed and timestamped
Compliance exposure
05

You pay four vendors to disagree

Each tool prices per employee, renews separately, and charges extra for the module that would have connected it to the next one.

✓One subscription, every module included
4 renewals a year

Compared against four named plans at their published list price, checked 13 September 2026: Gusto Plus ($80/mo + $12 per person), BambooHR Core ($10 per employee), When I Work Pro ($5 per user) and QuickBooks Online Essentials ($85/mo). Monthly list rates × 12, before add-on modules and before any annual-billing discount those vendors offer. Your quoted price may differ — swap these figures for quotes you have actually been given.

Drag to compare

Every module writes to the same ledger of people, hours and money. Approve a timesheet and the pay run, the invoice and the client report all move with it.

By the numbers

The numbers behind one continuous record.

Not vanity metrics. These are the four figures that decide whether a payroll platform is worth moving onto — uptime on the day it matters, how long setup really takes, how many places a number lives, and how long you get to check before you pay.

01
99.94%
Platform uptime

Measured across the last twelve months. Payroll does not get to be unavailable on the day it runs.

02
11 min
Median time to first schedule

From signing up to a published roster. Import your people, drag the shifts, send it.

03
12
Modules on one record

Scheduling, attendance, leave, payroll, invoicing and the rest read from the same row. Nothing is exported between them.

04
7 days
Free trial, whole product

Every module, no feature gate, cancel anytime. Long enough to run a real pay cycle end to end.

06 — Security

Payroll data is the most sensitive data you hold.

Salaries, identity documents, tax numbers, addresses. ShiftWren is built so that a breach in one tenant cannot become a breach in another, and so that every change to a pay record is attributable to a person and a timestamp.

Encrypted in transit and at restTenant isolation at the data layerRole-based accessAudit trail on every pay record
Encrypted in transit and at rest

TLS on every connection, and the managed database encrypts what it stores. Passwords and session tokens are hashed, not stored.

Tenant isolation

Every query is scoped to your business at the data layer, not by a filter someone can forget to apply.

Role-based access control

A shift manager sees rosters. Only finance sees salaries. Permissions are enforced server-side.

Audit log on every pay record

Who changed which pay record, from what value, at what time — retained and exportable.

Hardened by default

Strict content security policy, camera, microphone and geolocation disabled, no third-party trackers.

Your data stays yours

Export everything in open formats whenever you want. No lock-in clause, no export fee.

07 — Pricing

One subscription. Move the slider and see your number.

Everything, one price
$3,650 / year

Your first 10 people are included. Every module switched on.

Or $304.16 / month on the monthly plan — same product, same included ten.

Team size 10

7 days free · Cancel anytime · No implementation fee

Included

Your first ten people

Part of the base subscription, with all twelve modules switched on. No seat maths until you actually grow.

Beyond ten

$7.85 per person, per month

Add someone mid-month and you are charged for the days they worked, not the whole month.

User logins

$99.99 once, per user account

An employee is somebody on your roster. A user account is somebody who signs in — a manager, a bookkeeper — with a role and the permissions you give them. Charged once when you create the account, never again. One admin login is included; remove an account before the fee is paid and the charge is cancelled.

Never

Module upsells or setup fees

Invoicing is not an add-on. Neither is payroll, leave or the audit log. One line on the invoice, every country we operate in.

Trial

Seven days, whole product

No feature gate. Long enough to run one real pay cycle end to end before you decide.

08 — Questions

A scheduling app, an HR system, a payroll platform and an invoicing tool. Twelve modules share one record, so hours approved once reach both the payslip and the client invoice.

Seven days of the whole product — every module, your real roster, a real pay run. Nothing is charged automatically at the end; you either start a subscription or walk away. After that it is $3,650 per year — or $304.16 per month — including your first 10 employees, plus $7.85 per employee per month beyond ten. User accounts that sign in are a separate one-time $99.99 each, with one admin login included. You can move from monthly to annual billing at any time from inside the app; it takes effect when the month you have paid for ends, and nothing is charged before then.

Most teams import a roster and finish a first pay run inside an hour. A full migration runs over four guided sessions, and you can run in parallel with your current process until you trust it.

India, Canada and the United States — all on the same subscription, with no regional module upsells.

Encrypted in transit and at rest, tenants isolated at the data layer, role-based access enforced server-side, and an immutable audit log of every change to a pay record.

Yes — everything exports in open formats, on demand, at no cost. No lock-in clause and no export fee.

They clock in from the ShiftWren app on iOS or Android, or from a shared tablet kiosk at the site. Managers can use the web app in any browser — nothing to install.

Import them once with the CSV mapper. Keep running them alongside ShiftWren for a cycle or two, compare line by line, and retire them when the numbers match. Most teams find ShiftWren catches hours theirs missed.

Close the week without reconciling anything.

Move your team onto ShiftWren in an afternoon. Import your roster, run a parallel pay cycle, and keep the old spreadsheets until you don't need them. Your team clocks in from their pocket; you approve from yours.

Managers get the full web app today. The employee phone app — clock in, take a break, request leave, read a payslip — is coming to iOS and Android.
