How much does Sling cost?

Sling publishes 3 tiers, from Free for Free up to $4/user/month for Business. The entry tier costs nothing.

Does Sling have a free plan?

Yes. The Free tier costs nothing and covers scheduling, messaging, basic features. Paying starts at $2/user/month for Premium.

What is the difference between Free and Premium on Sling?

Premium costs $2/user/month against Free, and adds time tracking, overtime alerts.

Is the Business plan on Sling worth it?

That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is labor costs, reporting. It costs $4/user/month against $2/user/month for Premium. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.

Does Sling charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.

Are these Sling prices current?

They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.

What should I compare Sling against before paying?

The closest food & restaurant tools in this directory are Caviar, Backbar, Aloha POS, ChowNow. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Sling covering price, platforms and features.

Sling pricing

Sling publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.

Entry price: Free
Model: Subscription
Tiers: 3
Free tier: Yes

Sling 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.

Sling pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Free	Free	3	Entry tier
Premium	$2/user/month	2	+$2/user/month, 2 more features
Business	$4/user/month	2	+$2/user/month, 2 more features

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.

What the product covers

The full Sling feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

Core

Employee scheduling
Time tracking
Team messaging
Task management
Shift swapping
Labor cost tracking

Integrations

Toast
Square
Gusto

Platform

Web support
Ios support
Android support

People bring Sling in for building and publishing shift schedules for hourly staff, tracking clock in and clock out and labour cost, messaging and announcements across a shift based team. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Sling are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

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.

Sling entry price against other Food & Restaurant tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Sling (this page)	Free	subscription	-
Caviar	$20/order	transaction	-	vs Sling
Backbar	On request	subscription	-	vs Sling
Aloha POS	$150/month	subscription	-	vs Sling
ChowNow	$249/month	-	-	vs Sling
BentoBox	$99/month	subscription	-	vs Sling
Avero	$200/month	subscription	-	vs Sling

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 Sling badges page.

Before you pay for Sling

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: 3 tiers between Free and $4/user/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.

Sling runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Sling Inc. (Toast) of New York, New York. The full record is on the Sling review, and the rest of the category is under best food & restaurant tools.
