Stop managing leave in
spreadsheets.
Leave Balance is the leave tracker built for fast-growing teams. $10/month flat — no per-seat fees, no bloated HRIS, no onboarding project. Set up in 5 minutes and get back to building.
Leave management shouldn't slow you down
Most startups outgrow spreadsheets long before they can justify an enterprise HRIS. There's a better way.
You're tracking leave in a spreadsheet
Founders and ops leads cobble together Google Sheets, Slack threads, and calendar invites. Balances drift, requests get missed, and nobody trusts the numbers.
HR tools are built for enterprises
BambooHR, Personio, and HiBob charge $250+/mo and take weeks to onboard. You don't need 50 HRIS modules — you need leave management that works.
Per-seat pricing punishes growth
Most leave trackers charge $2-10 per employee per month. Hire 10 people in a quarter and your bill doubles. That's a tax on growth you shouldn't pay.
Six reasons growing teams choose Leave Balance
We built what we wished existed when we were a startup ourselves — a leave tool that's fast, affordable, and stays out of your way.
$10/mo flat — forever
Whether you have 5 employees or 200, the price stays the same. No per-seat fees, no tiers, no surprise invoices as you scale. First 150 customers are grandfathered at this rate.
Set up in under 5 minutes
Sign up, invite your team via CSV upload, and configure your leave policies. No onboarding calls, no implementation project, no waiting weeks to go live.
Lives in Slack and Teams
Your team already lives in Slack or Teams. Leave requests, approvals, and balance checks happen right there — no new app for anyone to learn.
Grows with you
Add employees, create new leave types, and set up multi-country policies as you expand — all included. No upgrade needed, no add-on fees.
Self-service for everyone
Employees check their own balance, request leave, and see who's off. Managers approve with one click. Nobody emails HR asking 'how many days do I have left?'
Compliance without the complexity
Public holiday calendars, customisable leave policies, and multi-region support. Whether your team is in London, Sydney, or San Francisco — you're covered.
Leave Balance vs the alternatives
Enterprise HRIS platforms are overkill. Spreadsheets are unreliable. Per-seat tools punish growth. Here's where we fit.
| Tool | Cost | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| BambooHR | $250+/mo | Full HRIS, months to onboard |
| Vacation Tracker | $50+/mo | Per-seat pricing, limited plans |
| Timetastic | $1.50/user/mo | Costs scale with every hire |
| Spreadsheets | Free | Manual, error-prone, no approvals |
| Leave Balance | $10/mo flat | Unlimited employees, 5-min setup, Slack + Teams |
