Why shifta

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

Most scheduling tools are built for chains, with menus no small team ever opens. shifta is built in Switzerland for small teams: the essentials, done properly, in your language.

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

People who answer

Write to us and the people who build shifta reply, usually the same day. Good ideas often ship within the week.

Start free. When you grow, pay per venue, no hidden costs.
