Our verdict on Shiftd

Care facilities coordinating staff across nursing homes, home care, hospice, group homes, and hospital units can use Shiftd to draft and publish schedules, manage open seats, and review staff requests. Staff can view schedules, sign up for open or supplemental shifts, submit trade, giveaway, and time-off requests, and receive notifications. Browser access and native iOS and Android apps support both schedulers and staff. Its focus is scheduling coordination rather than automatically building schedules, making it a better fit for teams that want visibility and controlled staff participation than those seeking automation.

The published plan is called “Every facility — Founding rate” and costs $4 per active staff member monthly, with a $100 monthly minimum. It includes scheduling, open-shift and callout fill, coverage checks, constraint rules, and an audit trail; there are no feature tiers. A trial lasts at least 30 days and does not require a card. The minimum means the per-staff rate alone does not describe the bill for smaller teams, so buyers should compare the floor against their staffing needs. Apple Calendar and Google Calendar sync are included, and the product is available through web, iOS, and Android.

Coverage visibility is a central strength: Shiftd can surface gaps, unfilled seats, double-bookings, and rule violations, including checks for hour caps, role match, and shift obligations. Approved workflows keep trades, giveaways, and time-off requests subject to administrator review, while a schedule-scoped audit trail records phase changes, assignments, and publishing. On-call coverage can be managed as a child schedule. Teams that need these checks and traceable changes may find the scope well matched; organizations requiring automatic scheduling or verified availability management should consider a broader alternative.
