Comparison
Rostavo vs ShiftCare
Both schedule staff and bill for the work. The difference is what happens to the bill when you hire.
ShiftCare is a well-established care and disability scheduling platform, strongest in Australia and increasingly in the US. It publishes its price, which most of this category does not, and that makes an honest comparison possible. It charges per staff member per month, on three tiers, and the cheapest of those does not include invoicing.

The honest answer
ShiftCare is a mature product with real depth in disability and NDIS work, and if that is your world it knows things Rostavo does not. But its per-staff model means the bill grows every time you hire, and at fifty people it is between two and six times ours for a comparable job.
