Strong Shifts and Wemply, Planday: a comparison
Shift schedules for small teams: a monthly grid, leave and sick days, planned vs actual hours, auto-planning, Estonian public holidays. We have no mobile app, employee requests or Estonian payroll yet — Wemply is stronger there.
We open it after your request — usually within a working day.

Choose Strong if
- your team is small and you need an affordable, clear schedule in Estonian and Russian
- you already use Strong: positions and shifts will link to Steps and Stay (planned)
Better look at the alternatives if
- you need a mobile app, employee requests and Estonian payroll today — that is Wemply (an Estonian company, time-clock terminals)
- your team is large and you need mature reporting — Planday has been around long, but has no Estonian or Russian interface
Not one feature, but the whole set.
