Why shifta

You shouldn't pay for software you only half use.

01

Only what you need

Every feature earns its place on the screen. Start free, switch on more only when your team actually asks for it.

02

Anchored in Switzerland

Prices in CHF, the app in English, French and German, your data hosted in the EU. Built around how Swiss small businesses actually work.

03
