Tiveo costs nothing for up to 5 employees, on a plan of its own with no fixed term. Shift planning is included, along with leave planning. Tiveo is meant for businesses, the self-employed and freelancers only, not for private use.
The same shift planning as in the paid plans, without checklists; the limits of the plan are listed right next to it.
The limits apply to the whole plan and are also listed in the price table.
Which employees count. Every person you manage in Tiveo as an employee counts, with or without an account of their own. If HR does all the planning, everyone it plans still counts, not just the planners’ accounts. People who have left no longer count from the day after they leave, and neither do dormant records or future employees before their start date. If it gets tight, the owner and administrators get a message. If your plan no longer fits, you cannot add or invite further employees or enter or request new absences until the limit is met again, for example after a plan change or during the trial month. Existing access and entries stay usable, import still works, and nothing is charged retroactively (§ 5(3) of the terms).
For businesses with up to 5 employees working in shifts: a small café, a practice with evening hours, a shop with long opening times.
With more than 5 employees, when several steps should decide on requests or the team should hear about new rosters by email or push. Then a paid plan fits, and all plans stay where they are.
Tiveo checks rest periods, maximum working hours and breaks before publishing. Which rules apply and who has a say is set out with sources and date on the rosters page. More on rosters →
The paid plans are tiered by employees and can be cancelled at the end of the billing period, so monthly when billed monthly. You can try a paid plan of your choice for a month free of charge, with no payment method, once per company and per owner (§ 5a of the terms).

Grid, demand, checks, open shifts and swaps are the same as in the paid plans. Shift checklists and emails and push notifications to the team come with Team. The plan itself is limited to at most 5 employees.
Yes. “My shifts” shows the coming weeks, in the browser or as an installed app in Chrome and Edge, on the iPhone after “Add to Home Screen”. Your own shifts can be subscribed to as a calendar; a push notification about a new roster comes with Team.
No. The free plan costs €0, has no fixed term and does not turn into a paid plan by itself. It can still be terminated, by us as well: we can end it with one month’s notice to the end of a month and change its scope, such as the number of employees, with one month’s notice, or sooner for security or legal reasons. We announce both in text form (§ 8(7) and (8) of the terms). When the contract ends, you can still export your data for 30 days (§ 14(2) of the terms).
At 80 percent the owner and administrators get a message. With more than five, you cannot add or invite further employees or enter or request new absences until the limit is met again, for example after a plan change or during the trial month. Existing access and entries stay usable, import still works, and nothing is charged retroactively (§ 5(3) of the terms). If the limit stays exceeded despite our request, we may pause imports too (§ 5(4) of the terms).
On the same server in Germany as on every other plan, run by us. Annex 3 of the data processing agreement and the “Security” page list the service providers involved.
