Where they pull apart

7shifts

Stands out: A kitchen-and-FOH scheduler with POS hooks and a genuine free Comp tier, then location-priced paid plans rather than per-user WFM seats.

Watch out: Time tracking, payroll ($39.99/location/mo plus $6/employee paid), tip management, tasks, and onboarding are add-ons or higher plans. AI course-building is on Pro and Premium only.

Not the right fit for

  • Non-restaurant hourly work (use Deputy or When I Work)
  • Enterprises that need a full HRIS
  • Buyers who thought the free plan included time clocks and payroll

Harri

Stands out: Hospitality-specific hiring with scheduling attached, rather than a generic tracker.

Watch out: No published price, and no MCP.

Not the right fit for

  • Technology-company professional hiring
  • Agencies outside hospitality

Pros and cons

7shifts
