Timetastic is a dedicated leave management tool at £0.80-1.20/user — but it only handles holidays and absences. If you also need employee timesheets, hours tracking, manager approvals, and UK payroll exports, you'll need a second tool on top. TimeTally combines timesheets, holidays, and compliance in one tool for £2/employee — eliminating the need for separate subscriptions.

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 a second tool. TimeTally does everything Timetastic does for holidays — UK statutory entitlements, bank holidays, approval workflows — but 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.

TimeTally includes all the holiday features you'd get from Timetastic — plus timesheet tracking on top.
Auto-calculated based on working pattern and start date
Employees request, managers approve from any device
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. Timetastic doesn't offer any of that — meaning businesses with hourly workers need to pay for a second tool and manage two separate systems. Industries like care homes, hospitality, and cleaning services particularly benefit from having both in one place.
Employees log start/end times or total hours per day
Managers approve or reject with one tap
£2
per employee/month
£0.80-£1.20
per person/month
Example: For 10 employees, Timetastic (£10/month) + separate timesheet tool (£30+/month) = £40+/month. TimeTally for the same 10 employees = £20/month for everything.
Timesheets, overtime, and holiday data all flow from one system — ensuring consistency and accuracy. One click sends approved hours to your payroll software, with the audit trail HMRC requires for RTI (Real Time Information) submissions.
