The Key Difference

Timesheets + holidays vs holidays only

Timetastic is excellent at holiday booking and absence management. But if you employ hourly workers, need timesheet approval workflows, or must export hours to payroll, you'll need Timetastic's top Rota & Time Clock plan. TimeTally covers the holiday basics — UK statutory entitlements, bank holidays, approval workflows — and ALSO tracks employee timesheets, manages hours worked, and exports payroll-ready data to Xero, QuickBooks, or CSV. See our comparison matrix for a full side-by-side view.

Holiday management that matches Timetastic

TimeTally includes all the holiday features you'd get from Timetastic — plus timesheet tracking on top.

Plus timesheet tracking

The fundamental difference: TimeTally also tracks hours worked, manages timesheet approvals with full audit trails, calculates overtime, and exports payroll-ready data directly to Xero and QuickBooks. On Timetastic, the time clock, timesheets and payroll export come only with the Rota & Time Clock plan ($5.50/user/month), and its payroll integrations are Sage 50 and QuickBooks. Industries like care homes, hospitality, and cleaning services particularly benefit from having both in one place.

Hours tracking

Everything flows to payroll

Timesheets, overtime, and holiday data all flow from one system — ensuring consistency and accuracy. Approved hours, overtime included, are posted to Xero or QuickBooks as a wages journal or exported as CSV for any other payroll software, and changes to approved timesheets are logged.
