Fivexer

Switching from Rotageek

Automatic rotas without the enterprise price tag.

Rotageek sells after a demo and publishes no prices. Fivexer drafts the week for you, checks it against your rules, and costs 50 cents a person after the first 15.

What changes when you move

Shifts, swaps, leave and clocking in stay the same. Three things get better.

  • The first draft builds itself

    Tell Fivexer who is needed and when. It drafts the week around contracts, time off and the rules, and you change what you like.

  • Only trained people get the shift

    Add a forklift licence or food hygiene certificate with its expiry date. When it runs out, that person cannot be put on a shift that needs it.

  • No project to start

    No implementation fee and no setup project. Upload your staff list and build a rota the same day.

The move, step by step

You do not need a sales call. You can do it yourself, today.

  1. Download your staff list from Rotageek

    Ask Rotageek for your staff list as a spreadsheet, or export it from its reports. You need names, sites and contract hours.

  2. Upload it to Fivexer

    We match common column names like name, site and contract hours. Anything we cannot place, you pick from a list. Nothing is saved until you check it.

  3. Build next week’s rota and share it

    Fill shifts by hand or let Fivexer draft them. Staff get a link on their phone.

  4. Run both for a few weeks, if you like

    Keep Rotageek until you trust the new rota, then stop it.

Tied into a Rotageek contract?

Use Fivexer free until your Rotageek contract ends.

Tell us the date, then sign up. We set your workspace to free until then, so you never pay for two rota apps at once. Teams of 50 or more: send us the file and we do the import for you.

We email you once to confirm. Nothing else.

When Rotageek is the better choice

You run a large chain and want demand forecasting from sales and footfall, set up with you by the supplier’s own team. Rotageek sells that kind of project.

If that is you, stay. If what you pay for is a rota, shifts on phones and clocking in, look at the numbers above.

Questions people ask before switching

How much does Rotageek cost?

Rotageek does not publish prices; its site offers a demo instead. Capterra lists “$500 Flat Rate, Per Month”, but that is a third-party figure, not Rotageek’s own.

We are in a Rotageek contract. Can we still move?

Yes. Tell us when your contract ends and your Fivexer workspace stays free until then, so you never pay twice.

Will my staff need a new app?

No download is needed. Staff open a link on their phone to see shifts, swap them and clock in. They can add it to the home screen like an app.

Is it really 50 cents a person?

Yes. The first 15 people are free. Every person after that is €0.50 a month on any plan. The rota is never a paid extra.

Where is our data kept?

In Frankfurt, Germany. Our data processing agreement and the list of companies we use are public on our security page.

What if we want to leave Fivexer?

Export everything, any time, for free. There is no contract to end.
