Say Goodbye to Excel: The Plandit Basic Plan is Now 100% Free

Running a small business is hard enough without spending your Sunday nights wrestling with Excel spreadsheets, texting staff about schedule changes, or manually calculating worked hours on paper.

Starting today, we are removing the friction entirely: Plandit’s Basic plan is now completely free.

No credit card required at sign-up. No 14-day trial clock ticking down in the corner. Just a simple, modern shift scheduling tool designed specifically for small teams – for zero kroner.

Everything you get on the free plan

We built the free Basic plan so small cafes, retail shops, restaurants and service teams can manage their daily operations smoothly without adding another monthly software expense. Here is what you get out of the box at zero cost:

• 1 department – keep your core team organized in one clean workspace.
• Up to 10 employees – perfect for small, agile teams.
• Shift assignment and planning – publish shifts and keep everyone on the same page.
• Manual scheduler – drag, drop and build schedules in minutes instead of hours.
• Hour calculation – automatically tally worked hours and eliminate manual math errors.
• Team chat – keep shift communications, announcements and team messages in one central spot.
• Basic employee management – store contact details, roles and staff information effortlessly.
• Kiosk mode – set up a streamlined clock-in station for your venue.

Why we are making it free

Most shift-planning platforms lock basic scheduling behind paywalls or trick you into temporary free trials that force you to hand over a credit card.

We believe every growing business deserves modern digital tools from day one. You should not have to rely on messy group chats or outdated spreadsheets just because your team has under 10 employees. By making our core features free, you can focus on building your business – and when you are ready to scale, we will be here to support you.

What happens when you grow?

If your business expands beyond 10 employees or needs advanced administrative tools, upgrading is seamless. For just 199 NOK/month, Plandit Pro unlocks:

• Up to 3 departments
• Up to 30 employees, divided freely across departments
• Live check-in/out
• Employment contracts & e-signing
