What “free” leave tracking really means

Most “free” leave trackers have catches. Here’s how the options actually compare.

Free-Forever Tools

Sounds great until you need approval workflows, custom leave types, or UK holiday calculations — all locked behind paid tiers.

  • • Limited features on free plan
  • • Upsell-heavy experience
  • • Often US-focused, not UK

Excel / Google Sheets

Free to use but costs hours of admin time every week. No approval trail, no team calendar, no automatic entitlement calculations.

  • • Manual tracking errors
  • • No approval workflow
  • • Formula errors and version chaos

TimeTally Free Trial

Full access to every feature for 14 days. Then just £2/employee/month — less than the cost of the admin time you’ll save.

  • ✓ All features unlocked
  • ✓ No credit card required
  • ✓ Built for UK businesses

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TimeTally's leave tracker really free?

TimeTally offers a full-featured 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You get complete access to every leave tracking feature. After the trial, pricing starts at just £2 per employee per month — one of the most affordable leave management solutions for UK businesses.

What's included in the free trial?

Everything. Annual leave tracking, custom leave types (sick leave, TOIL, compassionate, and more), team calendars, approval workflows, UK holiday entitlement calculations, and mobile access. Nothing is locked behind a paywall during the trial.

Do I need to install anything?

No. TimeTally is fully cloud-based and works in any web browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile. There's also an optional iOS mobile app for booking and approving leave on the go.

Can I track sick leave and TOIL too?

Yes. TimeTally lets you create unlimited custom leave types — so you can set up categories for sick leave, TOIL (time off in lieu), compassionate leave, maternity/paternity leave, and anything else your business needs. Each type has its own colour, icon, and allowance settings.

Does it calculate UK holiday entitlement?

Yes. TimeTally automatically calculates statutory holiday entitlement based on each employee's working pattern, including the 5.6 weeks minimum for full-time workers. It handles pro-rata calculations for part-time staff, bank holidays, and leave year resets.

Can I use it alongside timesheet tracking?

Absolutely. TimeTally combines leave tracking and timesheets in a single platform. Leave bookings automatically reflect in timesheets, so you get a complete picture of employee time without juggling separate systems.
