AnnualLeave.com review
A focused leave system with staffing planning and absence analytics at a low monthly price.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
AnnualLeave.com is a cloud-based leave and absence management system for managers, business owners and HR teams. It covers online leave requests, configurable absence types, employee entitlements, approval workflows, shared calendars and reporting. Employees can submit requests and check entitlement information through self-service, while administrators manage policies, locations, roles and approvals. Responsive access supports computers, smartphones and tablets.
The AnnualLeave plan costs £1.54 per user per month with monthly billing, according to the vendor's pricing page. The plan includes online leave management and monthly per-employee pricing, with no sign-on or setup fees. A 30-day free trial is available, but there is no free plan. The pricing structure is straightforward for teams that want core leave workflows without a separate setup charge. Its stronger differentiators are operational: resource planning can be matched against minimum staffing requirements, while Bradford Factor analysis helps teams examine absence patterns alongside entitlement and leave reporting.
AnnualLeave.com is a good fit when absence visibility and staffing coverage matter as much as request approvals. Colour-coded calendars, shared calendar permissions, email notifications and configurable policies support everyday administration, while API access gives teams a route to connect the service with other systems. The documented platform is web and API based, with responsive mobile access rather than a documented iOS or Android app. Teams seeking a broader HR platform, a named integration ecosystem or a dedicated mobile application should compare alternatives. Teams focused on leave control, self-service, policy management and staffing analysis should find the feature set well aligned to that narrower need.
