Soon review
A broad scheduling platform for teams that need automation, coverage tools, and integrations.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Shift-based operations teams can use Soon to create and publish schedules, manage availability and leave, fill open shifts, approve swaps, and monitor coverage. Its scheduling rules can account for skills, contracted hours, rest rules, leave, and staffing requirements. The product supports small, mid-market, and enterprise organizations through web, iOS, and Android deployments, with employee self-service and push notifications included in its broader feature set.
Soon uses four paid plans. Start includes shift scheduling, intraday activity scheduling, leave management, team skills records, calendar synchronization, and CSV export. Grow adds automated shift scheduling, user groups, intraday statistics, advanced leave management, and an AI Agent beta. Scale adds automated intraday activity scheduling, advanced auto-fill options, coverage requirements and tracking, an AI scheduling assistant, and an AI-powered feedback process. Enterprise adds a private cloud environment, premium support with an SLA, custom integrations and data retention, SSO through SAML/OIDC, Directory Sync SCIM, and a dedicated success manager. Start, Grow, and Scale have 14-day, 30-day, and 60-day trials respectively, with no credit card required.
The platform fits organizations that need scheduling connected to their wider workplace and HR environment. Listed integrations include Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zapier, Personio, Workday, BambooHR, Humaans, and intelliHR, alongside the stated total of 5,000 integrations. Its combination of forecasting, coverage indicators, conflict warnings, intraday planning, and automation suits teams with changing staffing requirements. Organizations seeking a free scheduler or only basic shift planning should look elsewhere; Soon is better suited to teams prepared to adopt a paid system with progressively deeper automation and enterprise controls.
