Introducing the TimeLogic Free Starter Plan — Simple, Stress-Free Scheduling for Small Teams

30 March 20267 min read

Running a small team should not feel like juggling spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages, and last-minute shift changes. Yet for thousands of micro-businesses across the UK, that is still the daily reality. Rotas get messy, time sheets go missing, and payroll becomes a guessing game.

We built TimeLogic to fix that — and today, we are excited to launch something that makes it even easier for small teams to get started.

Say hello to the TimeLogic Free Starter Plan

A simple, powerful way for teams of up to five users to manage rotas and basic time tracking — completely free, forever.

  • No contracts.
  • No hardware.
  • No hidden fees.

Just a clean, modern tool that helps you run your team with less stress and more clarity.

Why we created a free plan

Small teams are the backbone of hospitality, retail, construction, care, and service businesses. But most scheduling and time-tracking tools are built for big companies — expensive, complicated, and full of features small teams do not need.

We kept hearing the same thing from owners and managers:

“We would love to use something better… but we are too small to justify the cost.”

So we decided to remove the barrier entirely.

The Free Starter Plan gives micro-teams the essentials they need to stay organised, without forcing them into a paid plan before they are ready.

What is included in the Free Starter Plan

  • Up to 5 users — Perfect for small cafés, shops, trades teams, salons, and early-stage businesses.
  • Publish and edit rotas — Build weekly rotas in minutes — no more messy spreadsheets.
  • Staff availability and shift acceptance — Stop the back-and-forth messages. Everyone sees exactly where they need to be.
  • Basic clock-in/out — Track hours worked without expensive hardware or clunky terminals.
  • Weekly CSV export — Simple, clean data you can hand straight to your accountant or payroll provider.
  • Self-serve onboarding — Set up your business, add your team, and publish your first rota in under 10 minutes.
  • Email support — We are here when you need us.

When you will want to upgrade

The Free Starter Plan is designed to grow with you. As your team expands or your needs become more complex, upgrading unlocks powerful features like:

  • GPS-verified clock-ins
  • Geofencing
  • Absence and holiday tracking
  • Fire roll call and emergency evacuation
  • Compliance resources (HACCP, fire safety, risk assessments)
  • Multi-location support
  • Advanced reporting
  • Payroll integrations (Xero, Sage, QuickBooks)

You will only upgrade when it makes sense — and we will guide you when you hit those limits.

How small teams benefit immediately

  • Save time every week — No more chasing staff for availability or fixing rota mistakes.
  • Reduce payroll errors — Accurate clock-ins and clean exports mean fewer surprises at the end of the month.
  • Stay organised — Everything in one place — rotas, shifts, hours, and staff communication.
  • Start without risk — Try the system, get comfortable, and upgrade only when you are ready.

A message from the founder

TimeLogic was built with one goal: to make workforce management simple for the teams who need it most. Small businesses deserve tools that are fast, affordable, and easy to use — not bloated systems built for enterprises.

The Free Starter Plan is our way of supporting the businesses that keep our communities running. If you are a small team and you have been putting off switching from spreadsheets, now is the perfect time to try something better.
