Alternative & comparison
VidiClock as an alternative to Papershift
When searching for a scheduling and time-tracking solution, you quickly come across Papershift, a well-known software for shift planning, working-time tracking and payroll preparation. VidiClock takes a deliberately focused approach: scheduling, a digital time clock, reporting and leave management are bundled into one lean system tailored to small and medium-sized businesses in hospitality, trades, care and retail. Everything runs GDPR-compliantly on servers in Germany, and each company gets its own database. Instead of a broad toolkit with many modules, VidiClock offers a clear set of features at a transparent flat rate with an employee limit. The interface is fully bilingual (German and English) and comes with a dark mode. If you want a clear, fairly priced alternative without a long setup effort, VidiClock is a solid candidate.
- GDPR-compliant
- Servers in Germany
- No special hardware
