Hourvy vs When I Work: no seat increments, no add-on stacking
When I Work sells seats in blocks of 5 and charges extra to add time & attendance on top of scheduling. Hourvy includes both, billed per actual active worker.
- No 5-seat purchase minimums — pay for exactly the workers you have
- Time tracking included, not a paid add-on bolted onto scheduling
- No free trial clock — 30 days, no card required, not a forced decision at day 14
