What is rota software?
Rota software replaces the spreadsheet or WhatsApp message you currently use to plan staff shifts. You build the week's schedule in a visual grid, publish it, and every team member is notified automatically. ClockRota also handles clock-in, shift swaps and payroll exports, so the rota, timesheets and hours all live in one place.
What does ClockRota cost right now?
Nothing — ClockRota is £0 for the duration of the public beta. Every feature is unlocked, there's no card required and no usage limits. This is a beta, not a permanently free product: when we launch paid plans, pricing starts at £9/month for teams up to 5, and every plan will include a 30-day free trial.
What happens when the beta ends?
We'll give every beta user plenty of notice before billing starts — nothing changes overnight. Pricing is banded by team size (£9/month up to 5 staff, then £10 more per band of 5) with every feature included, so there are no per-seat surprises or locked tiers.
How does staff clock-in work?
Staff clock in and out from their own phone when their shift starts, so you see who's in, who's late and the actual hours worked — not what the rota guessed. Those real hours flow straight into your payroll export.
Can staff swap shifts themselves?
Yes. Team members arrange swaps between themselves in the app, and you just approve or decline the final result. No more playing middleman across three group chats to cover a Saturday shift.
Do I need to install anything?
No. ClockRota runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer — there's nothing to install and no hardware to buy. Sign up, add your team, and you can publish your first rota in about five minutes.
£0 now. Fair later.
Simple always.
Build your first rota in under 5 minutes. We'll give you plenty of notice before anything changes.
