ShiftSee vs. Deputy.

Deputy is a strong international scheduler. ShiftSee is a shift platform that schedules, fills, and lets workers negotiate — across an external workforce that grows over time.

What it is

What Deputy actually is.

Deputy is an Australian-built workforce management platform serving 90,000+ businesses worldwide across retail, hospitality, healthcare, construction, and more (SelectHub Deputy review, 2026, Deputy.com pricing). Excellent drag-and-drop scheduling, AI auto-scheduler, biometric facial-recognition clock-in, compliance tooling, payroll integrations with Gusto, ADP, QuickBooks, Paychex, and POS integrations with Square and Toast. Pricing as of 2026: Lite at $5/user/month, Core at $6.50/user/month, Pro at $9/user/month (Connecteam Deputy review, December 2025, Deputy.com pricing).

For a multi-location business that wants serious scheduling and compliance, Deputy is one of the better choices in the category.

The structural wall

Where Deputy hits a wall.

Deputy is a scheduler. There is no marketplace, no external workforce, no negotiation.

No external workforce. When a shift breaks, Deputy has nothing — same as every other scheduler.
No marketplace. You're stuck with the people you already employ.
No worker negotiation. Standard scheduler.
Per-user pricing scales fast. A 50-person team on Pro is $450/month for scheduling and time tracking alone.

What we do that they don't

What ShiftSee does that Deputy doesn't.

An external workforce. Reach new shifters via Targeted Shift Requests and Broadcast Shifts.
A connection graph. Every working relationship compounds in value.
Negotiation. Workers can counter on rate and time.
One platform for scheduling and external fills, instead of stacking Deputy with a separate marketplace product.

Pricing

Pricing in plain English.

Deputy pricing as of December 2025: Lite at $5/user/month, Core at $6.50/user/month, Pro at $9/user/month (Connecteam, December 2025). Payable whether shifts happen or not.

ShiftSee charges 10% from the business and 10% from the shifter only on completed work. Different model, different bill: Deputy is cheaper when everything is calm; ShiftSee is dramatically cheaper when even one shift would otherwise have been lost.
