Leavo Review (2026)
The tidy per-user numbers are annual-billed, and it's priced per seat — every employee you track adds to the bill, with no volume break shown. And the “free” is a 30-day trial, not a permanent free tier: budget for the paid plan from day 31.

Team time-tracking, attendance and overtime banking with transparent per-user pricing and a 30-day free trial.
What buyers report about Leavo
Recurring themes from the buyer-review sites listed at the foot of this page, read in August 2026. We have not run Leavo ourselves, so this is other buyers' experience rather than ours. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.
- • Leave, time tracking, shift planning and overtime banking connected properly — the schedule fills the timesheet, hours bank as overtime, and overtime converts to paid days off automatically.
- • Swiss CCT and French CCN sector presets built in, with the ability to build your own agreement for any country. Audit logs that reviewers say settle payroll disputes.
- • A 30-day free trial, with bank transfer as well as card on the higher plans.
- • We found no independent reviews on G2, Capterra or Trustpilot. What exists is testimonials on the vendor's own site — treat it accordingly and use the trial.
- • The compliance presets currently cover Switzerland and France, with other countries described as coming. Check yours is actually supported before you build a process on it.
When the paid plan is worth it
Leavo's paid tiers differ mainly in AI quota and multi-organization support, not core leave-management functionality. Most single-organization teams that already know their headcount are well served by Professional, at $448 per year — $2.49 per user, on a 15-member example. It includes unlimited team members, hours balance and overtime banking, and a higher AI assistant quota than the 30-day trial's standard allocation. The concrete push toward Premium ($747 per year, $4.15 per user, same 15-member example) is operating multiple legal entities or brands, since Premium is the only tier with unlimited organizations.
The other push is exhausting the AI assistant's monthly quota often enough that the "maximum AI quota" plus purchasable extra credit packs matter. What upgrading to Premium does not solve: neither tier adds Slack, calendar-sync, payroll, or HRIS integrations — Leavo's own documentation lists none of these, even though the same documentation separately describes a REST API for members, leave requests, policies, and schedules. A dedicated account manager and priority support come with Premium, but they don't substitute for connections to the systems your leave data already lives in.
How to actually use Leavo
Getting a working setup on Leavo means completing three steps documented under Getting Started. First, create the company profile and invite at least one team member with name and email. Second, set the Holidays Allowance, where the default paid-leave figure is 25 days per year, plus an accrual type and carry-over rule. Third, define the standard weekly schedule that balances are calculated against. An account with a verified email is the only prerequisite — no domain verification, API key, or third-party connection is needed, since Leavo's documentation lists no Slack, calendar, payroll, or HRIS integrations at all.
Where setups actually go wrong, per Leavo's own administration troubleshooting page, is after this initial pass: changing a member's schedule later recalculates already-approved requests under the new rules, and mismatched holiday sets, work schedules, or leave-policy assignments are the stated cause of wrong balances. Approval also silently fails if a member is left on the default role instead of Admin, HR, or Approver.

Leavo vs Toggl, side by side
Both columns come from the same place: each vendor’s own published pricing, read on the date shown in the sources at the foot of this page. We do not average them into a score.
Both names above are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no extra cost to you. Neither changes what this table says: both columns come straight from the vendors’ own pricing pages.
The natural comparison is Toggl — Toggl is the established time-tracker with a genuinely free tier for small teams; Leavo leans into attendance and overtime banking — richer there, but per-seat and trial-only at the free end.

Everything we publish about Leavo links back here — the review stays the honest hub:
The ex-banker filter — the same yardstick on every review (how we review): My ex-banker filter is simple: does Leavo remove a real cost — time, errors, missed revenue — bigger than what it charges? If the job above is genuinely yours, it's worth a look. We never publish fake or “exclusive” prices, so always confirm the current plan on their site.
Frequently asked questions
What should I weigh before buying HR & People software?
Compliance is country by country, so the honest answer is: only where the vendor says it is, and only for the entity type you actually have. Ask which countries are covered by its own entities versus a local partner, who carries the liability if something is filed wrong, and how changes in local law reach you. Get those answers in the contract rather than the sales deck.
