7shifts pricing

Entry price: Free

7shifts plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

How that compares in Food & Restaurant

Too few food & restaurant tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

7shifts (this page)	Free	subscription	-
Caviar	$20/order	transaction	-	vs 7shifts

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the 7shifts badges page.

Before you pay for 7shifts

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between Free and $135/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.

7shifts runs on web, ios, android, and is published by 7shifts Inc. of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The full record is on the 7shifts review, and the rest of the category is under best food & restaurant tools.
