Is RotaCloud a replacement for Crewkind, or the other way round?

They're different categories. RotaCloud is a rota and time-and-attendance point tool. Crewkind is a full HR, recruitment, training and rota platform — RotaCloud doesn't cover employee records, onboarding, right-to-work checks or recruitment, which are all native to Crewkind.

Is Crewkind more expensive than RotaCloud?

Per-employee, yes — RotaCloud's rota-only pricing (from ~£1/month) is cheaper than Crewkind's full-platform pricing (£3.50–£9.00/month), because it does one job rather than replacing several separate subscriptions.

Crewkind vs RotaCloud — HR and rota software comparison

Crewkind vs RotaCloud

RotaCloud is a focused, well-regarded rota and time-and-attendance tool, popular in UK hospitality and care. It's worth being clear about what it is and isn't: a scheduling tool, not a full HR system. Here's how it compares to Crewkind.

RotaCloud is priced per employee from around £1/month for rota planning plus roughly £0.90/month for time & attendance — genuinely cheap for what it does, and it has useful integrations with care-sector platforms like Person Centred Software and StoriiCare. What it doesn't cover: employee records, contracts, onboarding, right-to-work checks, recruitment, or training. Crewkind is priced higher per employee (£3.50–£9.00/month) because it's a full HR, recruitment, training and rota platform in one system — the comparison is closer to "one point tool vs one system" than a straight price match.

When RotaCloud fits better

If all you need is rota building and clock-in/clock-out — and you already have a separate HR system, or genuinely don't need one — RotaCloud does that one job well and cheaply, with real care-sector integrations Crewkind doesn't currently have.

When Crewkind fits better

If you're running rota, HR records, onboarding, right-to-work and training across three or four different tools and want them in one place — with a single record per employee instead of re-entering the same person into every system — that consolidation is what Crewkind is built for.
