Pricing FAQ

Is the shift schedule generator really free?
Yes. Generating your schedule, viewing it, printing it, and exporting a single person calendar to PDF or a shareable link are free for everyone, with no account and no time limit. The free PDF carries a small "Made with ShiftScheduleUp" footer that you can remove with a Day Pass or Pro. Calendar export as an .ics file is a pro feature.
Do I need an account?
No. The free tool needs no signup at all. If you buy a Day Pass or Pro, you create a free account during checkout so your access is tied to your email.
What do I actually pay for?
Only optional pro extras: removing the PDF watermark, full year and CSV or Excel export, bulk export of your saved schedules, calendar export as an .ics file and live calendar sync, statistics, version history, the team roster, and unlimited saved schedules. The core schedule for one person is always free.
Is this a subscription?
No. The Day Pass is a one time payment for 24 hours of pro extras, and Pro is a one time payment that lasts forever. There is nothing recurring to cancel.
What is the difference between the Day Pass and Pro?
The Day Pass unlocks every pro export and view for 24 hours, including unlimited saving while it is active, which is ideal if you just need to export your whole year once. Pro unlocks those same extras permanently and also adds version history, the team roster, and priority support, for a single one time payment.
What happens when my Day Pass expires?
After 24 hours the pro exports lock again and saving returns to the free limit, but your account and the schedules you already saved stay safe. You can buy another Day Pass or upgrade to Pro whenever you like.
Is checkout secure?
Yes. Payments are processed by Stripe on their secure hosted checkout. We never see or store your card details.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. If a Day Pass or Pro purchase did not work for you, contact us within 7 days for a full refund.
