Common questions
Sling charges $1.70-$3.40 per user; Weekwright Pro is $4.50/seat (or $3.50 annual). The math difference funds the AI agent, the compliance engine, and the audit log retention. If you don't need those, Sling is the smaller cheque.
For 5-10 people on a single location with no compliance burden, often yes. Once you need multi-location coverage, predictive-scheduling-laws compliance, or AI drafts, you'll likely outgrow it. Weekwright's Starter (free, up to 10 employees) covers similar ground with the upgrade path baked in.
Yes. Sling exports your employees and schedule history as CSV; Weekwright imports them. The industry preset auto-seeds positions and starting compliance rules so you don't rebuild from scratch.
No credit card required. Migration help included if you're switching.
