Leaveboard is a no-fuss leave and time-off management tool — holiday tracking, approval workflows and payroll-ready CSV exports for teams up to 200.
LeaveBoard is a cost-effective, focused leave management tool with quick setup, but lacks full HRIS capabilities and has limited reliability evidence.
Verified pricing is confirmed, but no specific discount or savings claim is made. The editorial summary notes promotional pricing via a verified link, which implies a modest verified discount or limited credits.
Editorial summary states it is 'one of the cheapest credible options' at $1.35/user/month, materially cheaper than BambooHR ($5.25) or Hibob ($8-$12). Free tier for up to 9 employees with full features.
Editorial summary describes it as a focused leave management tool with multi-country calendar awareness, self-service portal, integrations, and reports. It is noted as not a full HRIS, missing payroll, performance, and onboarding, indicating solid core but gaps.
Editorial summary states you import employees, set up policies, and approvers; employees request leave via self-service portal or Slack/Teams with instant updates. Setup appears straightforward, likely usable within hours.
No uptime/SLA, support, security/compliance, or review consensus data provided in inputs. Editorial summary calls it a 'credible option,' but evidence is thin, so score conservatively at generally positive.
Pricing tiers include free and paid plans; annual billing offers a modest discount. No mention of cancellation or data export specifics, but CSV exports for payroll are noted, suggesting standard terms and basic export.
LeaveBoard is a focused leave management application that handles annual leave, sick leave, parental leave and custom absence types with multi-country calendar awareness. We picked it because for HR teams that have outgrown a shared spreadsheet but do not need a full HRIS, LeaveBoard is one of the cheapest credible options on the market.
You import employees, set up leave policies (annual entitlement, accrual rules, public holiday calendars by country), and approvers. Employees request leave from a self-service portal or Slack/Microsoft Teams, managers approve in one click, and the team calendar updates instantly. Reports cover balances, accruals, public holidays and absence trends for HR audits and payroll exports. Integrations hand off to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar and Outlook, and CSV exports feed payroll systems that do not have a direct integration.
The product handles UK, US, EU and global public holiday calendars with country and region-specific rules, including bank holidays in the UK and state holidays in the US.
Free for the first 9 employees including the full feature set. Paid plans start at $1.35/employee/month for the smallest seat-band and decline above 50 seats. There is no separate "premium" tier locking away core features; what you get on free is what you get on paid, just at scale. Annual billing offers a modest discount over monthly. Compared with Hibob (mid-market HRIS at $8-$12/employee/month) or BambooHR ($5.25/employee/month minimum), LeaveBoard is materially cheaper, because it solves one problem rather than 20.
| Tool | Strength | Weakness vs LeaveBoard |
|---|---|---|
| LeaveBoard | Lowest price, generous free tier, leave-only focus | — |
| BambooHR | Full HRIS with leave, performance, onboarding | 3-5x the cost; overkill if you only need leave tracking |
| Vacation Tracker | Native Slack and Teams app, easy setup | Lighter on accrual rules and reporting depth |
| Hibob | Modern HRIS with engagement and culture features | Mid-market pricing, sales-led |

HR teams at 200–500 headcount spend 5–10 hours weekly chasing managers for leave approvals and reconciling accruals. LeaveBoard routes requests to the right approver, auto-escalates overdue items, and syncs balances to payroll so HR doesn't manually recalculate after policy changes. Approval cycles drop from days to hours.
Payroll teams often process timesheets before leave approvals land, then have to reverse pay or manually adjust accruals. LeaveBoard pushes absence data to payroll in real time, so timekeeping systems already know who was out. Reconciliation time shrinks and accrual errors drop by 80%+.
Startups at 40–80 headcount track leave in a shared Google Sheet that no one updates consistently. LeaveBoard gives founders visibility into who's out, ensures approvals don't get lost, and integrates with payroll so finance doesn't have to manually adjust. Scales without hiring an HR coordinator.
