Afiyet vs Shiftbase
Shiftbase is big (8,000+ companies, all of Europe, ISO 27001) and has a free plan up to 15 employees. The honest difference: Shiftbase is a general scheduling tool with a hospitality page; Afiyet is hospitality-only and knows the CAO and the tip pool.
Free: up to 15 employees, 1 department. Basic €30/month (6 included) + €4 extra; Premium €72/month (12 included) + €5 extra; Enterprise €336. Annual −10%. Compliance+ (hospitality CAO rules) €0.50 per employee, coming soon. HR Pro €1 per employee. 14 days free without payment details.
€70 per month minimum (up to 15 included), then €4.50 per active employee. Everything in. 30-day money back.
