Considered Both Products	Planday Verified User Anonymous Chose Planday Ultimately Planday is the perfect tool for simple straightforward team time management, communication and scheduling.

User Testimonials
	Planday	Surfboard
Likelihood to Recommend	This is very well suited where there is a rotating support structure with larger teams involved. Our department as a whole has 16 full-time team members, with 4 people per team. The management of absences such as annual leave, alongside busy schedules or even seasonal downtime, is a breeze with Planday.

Alternatives Considered	Ultimately Planday is the perfect tool for simple straightforward team time management, communication and scheduling. I would like to see a task management feature added to Planday and perhaps some integration for employee rewards. Planday is leaps and bounds above Quickbooks Time, and TimeClock Plus but falls behind Deputy only slightly by having less features available. Overall I would recommend Planday to any small business owner with a team of 5-20 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
