TimeTally vs WhosOff

WhosOff is a dedicated staff holiday tracker from £1.55/user — but it only manages leave. No timesheets, no hours tracking, no payroll integration. TimeTally combines timesheets and leave management in one system for £2/employee/month, with Xero and QuickBooks exports built in.

The Key Difference

Leave-only vs timesheets + leave

WhosOff is a solid staff holiday tracker — it handles leave requests, team calendars, and UK entitlements well. But it stops there. There's no timesheet tracking, no hours logging, and no payroll integration. If your business needs to track employee hours, approve timesheets, or export data to Xero or QuickBooks, you'll need a second tool alongside WhosOff. TimeTally does both in one place.

Why businesses switch from WhosOff

WhosOff does leave tracking well, but businesses outgrow it when they need more than just holiday booking. Here's what's missing.

No timesheet or hours tracking

WhosOff doesn't track hours worked, overtime, or provide timesheet approval workflows

No payroll integration

No Xero or QuickBooks export — you'll need to manually transfer data for payroll

Web only — no native app

WhosOff is browser-based only. TimeTally has a dedicated iOS app for on-the-go access

Frequently asked questions

Does WhosOff offer timesheet tracking?

No. WhosOff is a dedicated leave and absence management tool. It does not include timesheet tracking, hours logging, or overtime calculations. You would need a separate tool for that.

Can I export data from WhosOff to Xero or QuickBooks?

No, WhosOff does not offer direct payroll integration with Xero or QuickBooks. TimeTally exports both timesheet hours and leave data directly to Xero, QuickBooks, or CSV.

Does WhosOff have a mobile app?

WhosOff is web-based and accessed through a browser. It does not have a dedicated native mobile app. TimeTally offers an iOS app for employees and managers to submit timesheets, request leave, and approve on the go.

Is WhosOff cheaper than TimeTally?

WhosOff starts from £1.55/user/month for leave management only. TimeTally is £2/user/month but includes both timesheets and leave. If you need timesheets too, using WhosOff plus a separate timesheet tool will likely cost more overall.

Can TimeTally handle everything WhosOff does for leave?

Yes. TimeTally includes holiday management, UK statutory entitlement calculations, pro-rata calculations, custom leave types, leave request and approval workflows, and a team calendar — matching WhosOff's leave features.

How quickly can I switch from WhosOff to TimeTally?

Most teams are up and running on TimeTally within minutes. You can set up employees, configure leave types and working patterns, and start using both timesheets and leave tracking straight away.
