Sling Expert Review, Pricing, Alternatives - 2023

Sling is an employee scheduling tool with workforce management capabilities that's used by some of the biggest companies in the world.

With a product that's free (for scheduling and internal communication) and very reasonably-priced (for all the other WM features), Sling is saving countless hours of work for thousands of teams.

Although they are mainly a cloud-based scheduling tool (with a mobile app), they also offer a task management module, a labor costs calculator, a time clock, and more.
