# ShiftCare User Reviews

## Reviews summary

- Overall rating: 4.6/5
- Total reviews: 145

### Secondary ratings

- Ease of use: 4.6/5
- Customer support: 4.7/5
- Value for money: 4.5/5
- Functionality: 4.4/5

### Rating distribution

- 5 stars: 106 reviews (73%)
- 4 stars: 29 reviews (20%)
- 3 stars: 6 reviews (4%)
- 2 stars: 1 reviews (1%)
- 1 star: 3 reviews (2%)

### Most mentioned pros

- Very efficient customer chat support, easy to understand features, quick way to see uploaded documents (no need to download a file to view), reminder feature, etc.
- I like that it is not just a timesheet software but also a billing software and record keeping for workers and clients.
- The customer support is excellent, and the frequent updates ensure the platform continues to improve. While some UX and mobile features could use refinement, the overall experience has been positive, and I’d recommend it to others in the support industry.

### Most mentioned cons

- Too many areas where times are included when adding a shift i.e: billing, client and support worker times - just have all one time as this causes problems.
- The App is just focused at a staff level. And there is also no proper communication channel and viewer for clients to see.
- I am unable to have access as a founder and phone access as a staff/support worker.

### Highly Effective, Well-Priced Platform with Excellent Support and Room for UX Improvements

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Daniel M.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Hospital & Health Care
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months
- Reviewed: October 2024

ShiftCare has streamlined our business operations, reducing admin time and errors significantly. The customer support is excellent, and the frequent updates ensure the platform continues to improve. While some UX and mobile features could use refinement, the overall experience has been positive, and I’d recommend it to others in the support industry.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

ShiftCare offers transparent pricing, flexible user management, and seamless Xero integration. The platform’s responsive customer support and regular improvements through a semi-public roadmap are standout features, making it highly user-friendly and efficient.

#### Cons

While ShiftCare is a robust platform, there are some areas that need improvement. The lack of a dedicated mobile admin app and a non-responsive website can make it difficult to manage tasks efficiently on the go. Certain UX issues, such as the awkward date picker and limited flexibility in scheduling shifts (e.g., only allowing 15- or 30-minute increments), slow down workflows. Managing recurring shifts could be smoother, as it currently requires excessive clicking through the month picker. There are also inconsistencies, such as the inability to bulk-edit kilometre pricing and the poor handling of split shifts, which don’t reflect correctly in the carer app or timesheets. Additionally, minor but noticeable issues—like formatting errors with Xero integration, the lack of automatic syncing with Xero for staff details, and small bugs in the mobile app—make ShiftCare feel less polished than it could be. Improving these areas would make a big difference in daily usage.

#### Reasons for choosing ShiftCare

Transparent, affordable pricing; much more responsive pre-sales team; Xero integration; met our admin needs; good feature set

#### Reasons for switching to ShiftCare

Payroller's mobile app was significantly buggy, had poor cross-platform development, and very feature-limited.

#### Vendor response

Thank you very much for your detailed review Daniel. We appreciate your feedback!

### NDIS Providers need Shiftcare!

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Jackie M.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Individual & Family Services
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: April 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review.

overall, we could not operate without Shiftcare, so very useful. Our rosters are a live and moving document, and Shiftcare can be operated in real time.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The rostering, billing and staff management are all very good. When you first start out you think you only need the bare minimum of features, however, you quickly realise you need to much more of what is available.

#### Cons

some different levels of purchased use. Most businesses would need to be able to roster and bill for NDIS and have staff management. Anything to do with those things should be available for two top teers of purchase. Maybe SIL etc should be in the top level purchase.

#### Reasons for choosing ShiftCare

appeared to be more geared to NDIS industry and therefore more features important to our business

#### Reasons for switching to ShiftCare

required a better scheduling system that was not as complicated.

#### Vendor response

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear ShiftCare has become such an essential part of your operations - especially when it comes to live rostering, billing, and staff management. You’re right: once things get moving, those “nice-to-have” features quickly become must-haves, and we’re proud to offer the tools NDIS providers really need. We appreciate your feedback around plan tiers too. We’re always reviewing how features are packaged, and your comments help us make more informed decisions to better support providers like you. Thanks again for choosing ShiftCare - we’re here to help make care simpler, every step of the way. The ShiftCare Team

### Big mistake in choosing Shiftcare

- Overall rating: 1/5
- Reviewer: Jason S.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Hospital & Health Care
- Company size: 51-200 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: November 2025
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Extremely disappointing. I run a home care agency and was looking for reliable scheduling and client management software. ShiftCare sold a vision they couldn’t deliver. The product is unstable, support is unreliable, and the company’s integrity is questionable. I would strongly caution other agencies to look elsewhere.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

The only positive was that the sales team seemed eager to help—at least before I paid the deposit. I heard from sales constantly leading up to contract signature. Shocker I know.

#### Cons

ShiftCare completely overpromised and underdelivered. The onboarding was confusing and poorly supported. They misrepresented having a working public API, and once I raised concerns, their communication dropped off. They even called my personal cell multiple times for payment before onboarding, but once issues appeared, they vanished.

#### Reasons for choosing ShiftCare

Sales people told me what i wanted to hear in terms of functionality and how easy it would be to switch. All lies.

#### Reasons for switching to ShiftCare

I wanted more current technology and a better UX. I have gone right back to Wellsky though. Its so much better than Shiftcare. I never should have switched.

### Good but needs some work

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Zeb H.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Health, Wellness and Fitness
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: May 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review.

For an expensive product you’d expect more. Dedicated Management App/Client App/Staff App a must!! Then improving the design and correcting all the glitches would go a long way too!!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 3/5

#### Pros

Has a lot of scheduling options. Still a bit clunky there are a lot of features inside which could be tweaked which would improve the experience. Also the layout is a little old school. Not as modern as most tech platforms

#### Cons

NO APP FOR MANAGEMENT. There needs to be a dedicated App for IPhone that allows for simple rescheduling and booking of staff and managing of the business. The App is just focused at a staff level. And there is also no proper communication channel and viewer for clients to see. A strong focus should go towards such as you can tell it’s just a “patch job” that’s been included to make it seem like it has the function. So you really need to design an App for staff, an app for clients and an App for management. Whether it’s seperate apps or within the same, it needs to specific designs around those 3 elements

#### Reasons for choosing ShiftCare

More focused towards NDIS management of clients

#### Vendor response

We sincerely appreciate your time and effort to submit this review, we are building out all of the mobile accessible admin functions now, and launching key features in this area this week. I appreciate the other items and we will focus on those as well.

### Great system for scheduling and invoicing

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Claire G.

- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: May 2025
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review.

A reliable system to manage staff and scheduling for NDIS providers. The customer service is excellent.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I like that it is not just a timesheet software but also a billing software and record keeping for workers and clients. Customer service on the chat function and availability of people on there is fantastic.

#### Cons

Integration doesn't work as well as it could - it often drops things off. I still have to download and upload files to ensure integrity. Also, it's got very expensive for small to medium sized businesses.

#### Reasons for choosing ShiftCare

At the time Shiftcare was a reasonable price - albeit not the cheapest - for the features it had.

#### Vendor response

Thanks for taking the time to provide your feedback. We would welcome the opportunity to hear from you in relation to which integration drops out, so that we can investigate and resolve - can you please contact our support team and escalate this issue? In relation to pricing - We haven't changed our pricing, it remains the same.

I wish I had never met this company. Truly the worst business decision of my life. Stay away. You have been warned.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Customer support: 1/5

#### Pros

The UI is pretty good for a home health agency scheduling software and the price was attractive to me

#### Cons

Everything. But my biggest issue is they over promise in the sales process and tell you they can do everything you want and then when you go live, it’s a complete utter disaster.

#### Reasons for choosing ShiftCare

I wish I hadn’t made the decision. I have regretted it ever since.

#### Reasons for switching to ShiftCare

I went back to WellSky. So much better as a product and company.

### Essential Software for Managing Community Support Workers

- Overall rating: 5/5

ShiftCare provides a secure central point for my team to enter and review client case notes from the mobile phone app. This was the primary function for which I signed up to ShiftCare. I have since upgraded to the top level of subscription to provide my team with the ability to enter their own shifts. This functionality more than justifies the additional expense of the top tier subscription in terms of the time that it saves me in not having to enter each shift myself. There are still some features that could use further development (Caregiver access to client details from the mobile app without needing to add this separately in a different section, Caregiver ability to enter shifts from the desktop app, functionality to add and update medication names, dosages and times) however I have seen a number of updates adding additional functionality since I subscribed to this product. ShiftCare is arguably the most useful tool my business uses.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

ShiftCare provides a comprehensive platform for me to manage staff and clients in my small NDIS business providing psychosocial supports to people in their homes and in the community. In real time I can see when and where staff log on and off shifts, and when they enter case notes and mileage. I especially like the functionality of staff being able to enter their own shifts, meaning that they don't need to contact me when organising ad-hoc appointments with their clients.

#### Cons

Due to the nature of our work - visiting a number of different clients in different locations during the same day - I find it time consuming to schedule individual appointments for each client then enter separate blocks of time to fill in between appointments to capture a staff member's entire shift i.e. if a staff member is working from 10am to 6pm and seeing 3 clients in different locations during that time, I need to enter each client visit separately then create dummy appointments for paid time between clients.

#### Reasons for choosing ShiftCare

ShiftCare represents the best value for money considering the features my business requires and the available budget

#### Reasons for switching to ShiftCare

ShiftCare was already up and running and provided the core functionality required by my business.

What I like most is keeping track of schedules to make it easier for staff to login.

I especially like the note writing, at the end of shifts a lot easier for staff to write progress notes at the end of each shift allowing them to do before going home.

#### Cons

Sometimes, it doesn't allow change of addresses.

Userfriendly and ease of systems

My experience with ShiftCare has been great!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

I like the mobile access the best! Our staff are out in the community with home care - not at a central office and it is good to know staff are getting to clients on time and are able to upload progress reports, the attendance has improved significantly and staff appreciate seeing their schedule in real-time as well as able to input their unavailability. I also like the feature to repeat the schedule and the choices available. When I had a question about the platform, the response from Shiftcare was quick.

#### Cons

So far there isn't anything that I do not like

#### Vendor response

Great platform that is user friendly and easy to integrate and train new staff.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Shiftcare helps to ensure the right staff to be allocated on time and to provide the highest quality service. The ability to read shift notes at the click of a button along with the Xero integration make invoicing and staff payments a breeze.

#### Cons

The transport kilometres being divided between participants living in a shared environment needs to be done manually when invoicing. Not a huge issue unless you have a large amount of SIL homes.

#### Reasons for switching to ShiftCare

Ability for growth

### Great Software

Shiftcare is the backbone of our business and I would not be able to function without it. I like how easily I have been able to adjust my subscription to reflect the exact number of staff I have at any one time. Shiftcare are always updating and improving their platform. I am very happy with it!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Learning to use Shiftcare was easy and there is usually ongoing training and updates available from their support team. I have been able to get good responses from support if I ever needed more assistance and these have fixed my issues quickly.

#### Cons

The mobile platform for the administrator role doesn't allow me to easily update or add shifts for my staff, so I usually log-on using a laptop if I am not in my office location. I find the notifications icon frustrating, as I am not able to delete individual notifications and let others remain in that menu if I am not ready to read them yet.

#### Vendor response

Hi Krystal, thanks so much for your feedback. I have discussed your comments regarding the mobile app with our developer team. Mobile is a big focus at the moment and your comments will not fall on deaf ears :-)

Overall it’s a great product

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

Shiftcare has helped take my small sole trader business and turn it into a medium sized company. It’s easy to use format helps keep me, my team, and our participants / participant representatives organized.

#### Cons

I wouldn’t recommend for larger businesses. There are certain features lacking from the software, but nothing that interferes with what it’s meant to do. The additional features would just help streamline certain thingsFor example, notifications and email reminders around expiring documentation.Being able to have individual shift specific messages pop up for support team.

#### Vendor response

Hi Tyler. Thank you for your review. Glad to hear your experience has been overall positive, we will take onboard your feedback regarding the limitations to further improve our platform. Happy to be on this journey with you!
