Woffu Alternative: reviews, pricing and comparison (2026)

Are you considering leaving Woffu, or is it on your shortlist and you want to see what else is out there? A good decision to read before signing: Woffu is one of the most solid products in Spanish time tracking, but it has three specific limits, the 10-employee ceiling of its Lite plan, the hidden pricing beyond that and a support experience its own users describe as slow, that push many SMEs to end up looking for an alternative. In this guide we analyse Woffu in depth (history, features, pricing, real reviews) and compare it with the alternatives available in 2026, including ours.

Transparency: this comparison is written by the Cleverfy team. All the Woffu data is verified as of July 2026 and cited from public sources (their website, their corporate blog and review platforms). When Woffu is the better option, we say so, it is further down, in its own section.

What Woffu is and who is behind it

Woffu was born in Barcelona in 2015, founded by Miguel Fresneda and Víctor Pérez with an idea that was ahead of its time back then: digitising the management of time (holidays, absences, presence) for Spanish SMEs. The definitive push came in 2019 with Royal Decree-Law 8/2019, which required all companies to record working hours: Woffu was in the right place at the right time and became one of the reference specialists.

In April 2022, the Norwegian group Visma bought Woffu (official announcement on their blog). Visma is a European software giant that has also bought other Spanish tech companies such as Holded or Declarando, more than 250 million invested in Spanish startups, according to the sector press. Its declared strategy is to keep the acquired brands operating separately, “with patience and no mergers” (Xataka): if you use Woffu, do not expect a merger with Sesame, but do expect pricing and product decisions taken at group scale. In fact, Woffu keeps moving as an independent brand: in May 2026 it announced partnerships with Hrider and Explore to strengthen its HR ecosystem.

Its figures: more than 1,500 client companies and 130,000 active users, according to data cited in sector analyses, with more than a decade of track record in the Spanish market.

What Woffu does well

Let us be fair with the functional analysis. Woffu covers the core of time tracking soundly:

  • Multi-channel clock-in: mobile app (iOS/Android) with geolocation, web clock-in and QR.
  • Holiday and absence management with request and approval flows, historically its most beloved module: it can be managed in days and in hours.
  • Flexible schedules and hour banks, overtime and break control.
  • Reports for the Labour Inspectorate.
  • Shift management (on Pro/Enterprise plans).
  • Fast implementation: its users talk about being operational in 2-3 days with no special training.

Where Woffu falls short

The limits appear as soon as you scratch the plan fine print:

  1. The 10-employee ceiling. The Lite plan (€1.50/employee/month) allows a maximum of 10 employees. Employee number 11 forces you to jump to the Pro plan, whose price is not public. Your future cost depends on a negotiation, right when your company is growing.
  2. Integrations are paid extra. According to their own pricing page, API integration, ERP connection and biometric devices are only on the Enterprise plan. And both Pro and Enterprise are billed only on an annual basis.
  3. It is not a suite, nor does it pretend to be. No payroll, no recruiting, no performance reviews, no e-signature, no whistleblowing channel. If you are after that, Woffu is not your product (and full suites cost 3-5 times more; we cover it below).
  4. Email support. The most repeated complaint in reviews: slow response times and the absence of phone support.

Woffu pricing in 2026

PlanPriceConditions
Lite€1.50/employee/month”Freelancers or micro-businesses of up to 10 employees with simple policies” (verbatim from their website); monthly or annual billing
ProNot public (on request)Annual billing only; mandatory from 11 employees; shifts, roles, unlimited calendars
EnterpriseNot public (on request)Annual billing only; API, ERP integration and biometrics, exclusive to this plan
Talent & People HubNot publicTime + talent modules

Practical translation: 10 employees on Lite = €15/month. 11 employees? Up for negotiation. That jump from “€15/month” to “call us” is the exact moment when most of their clients compare alternatives, probably why you are here.

Real reviews of Woffu

Cross-platform reputation (verified July 2026):

PlatformRatingReviews
Capterra4.2/516
G24.3/512
App Store ES3.7/564
Google Play2.8/5447
Google Maps4.5/562

On Capterra, Woffu scores 4.2/5 across 16 reviews (verified July 2026): ease of use 4.4, support 4.6, value for money 4.4. Other platforms and sector comparisons place it between 4.3 and 4.6. An honest note: 16 reviews is a small sample for a company with 1,500 clients, read them all, it takes ten minutes.

Real positive quote:How easy and intuitive it is to use. That’s really appreciated because it makes users self-sufficient.

Real critical quote:It doesn’t offer flexibility for workers with variable schedules… the app doesn’t make it easy to readjust your scheduling daily.

What users value most: the intuitive interface, implementation in days, the reasonable entry price, holiday management in hours and days.

What they criticise most: the rigidity with variable schedules, the mobile app lagging behind the desktop version and, in third-party analyses, email support.

The pattern is clear: people like the product; the experience around it (support, plan limits, opaque pricing) is what pushes people to look for alternatives.

Why companies leave Woffu (summary)

  1. They grow beyond 10 employees and the price turns opaque.
  2. They need a kiosk or API without paying for Enterprise.
  3. They get tired of waiting for email support.
  4. Post-Visma uncertainty: they prefer a provider whose roadmap depends on its clients, not on a group.

Cleverfy as a Woffu alternative: a direct comparison

Cleverfy is Spanish time tracking and time-record software for SMEs. The comparison with Woffu is especially clean because the base price is the same, the difference is in the limits:

CleverfyWoffu
Base price€1.50/user/month (€1.20 annual)€1.50/employee/month (Lite)
Employee limitNo limit on any plan10 (Lite); after that, hidden price
Public price on every plan✅ (Pro: €2.00-2.50)❌ Lite only
QR/PIN kiosk✅ All plansQR available; API/ERP/biometrics Enterprise only
Web + app + Chrome extension clock-in
Holidays and absences✅ Pro plan
4-year history + change traceability
AI assistant✅ All plans (more volume on Pro)
SupportChat and email, response <24h (4h on Pro)Email (4.6 on Capterra; third-party analyses note slowness)
Sign-up10 minutes, self-service2-3 days
Free trial14 days, full team, no card15 days
Lock-inNo lock-in (monthly available)Pro and Enterprise: annual only

The sentence that sums up the table: with Cleverfy you pay the same as Woffu Lite, without the 10-employee ceiling and with the kiosk included. Nobody else in the Spanish market can offer that equivalence today, here is the pricing, public.

When to stay with Woffu, and when to switch

Stay with Woffu if: you have 10 employees or fewer on a stable basis, each one clocks in from their own phone or computer, holiday management is your critical function and email support has not hurt you yet. It is a proven product and there is no real urgency.

Switch if: you are going to exceed 10 employees in the next 12 months (ask for the Pro plan price in writing and compare it beforehand, it is your moment of maximum leverage), you need a shared tablet to clock in, or you have opened more than two support tickets without a useful answer.

How to migrate from Woffu to Cleverfy (without losing your history)

  1. Export from Woffu employees, clock-ins and holiday balances (do it before you announce your departure).
  2. Create your Cleverfy account, sign up in 10 minutes, 14-day trial with your whole team and no card.
  3. Our team imports your data for free. The migrated history keeps its validity in an inspection: the 4-year retention obligation does not reset by changing provider.
  4. Run both systems in parallel for 1-2 weeks if you want to compare in real conditions before cancelling.

Other Woffu alternatives you should know

  • Sesame HR, the Valencian HR suite (15,000 clients): much more product and much more price (from €5.50/user with an €82.50/month minimum).
  • TramitApp, a Madrid suite with ISO 27001 and a good shift module; from ~€3/employee/month according to their own comparisons.
  • Bixpe, the free entry option, with only 1 month of history on the Free plan (insufficient for the new Royal Decree).

Conclusion

Woffu is a good product that has earned its decade on the market, and precisely for that reason its limits hurt: the 10-employee ceiling, the hidden pricing as you grow and the slow support are not software flaws, they are commercial decisions. If your company is (or is about to be) on the other side of those decisions, you have alternatives that do not charge you for them.

Try Cleverfy free for 14 days, the same base price as Woffu Lite, no employee ceiling, kiosk included and free migration. Or if you prefer to see it live, book a 15-minute demo.
