Shyfter vs Combo: which scheduling software for teams in Belgium?
In brief: Combo is French scheduling software, well rated by its users in France, but it has no version for Belgium: no Belgian site, no Dutch version, and no mention of Dimona or Belgian social secretariats. It charges per site (from €68 per month) and adds the time clock at €2 per employee. Shyfter, a Belgian vendor, combines scheduling and the time clock from €59 per month excl. VAT, charges only a few euros per additional site, files Dimona from the schedule, and a human replies in 4 minutes on average.
We make Shyfter, so we are not neutral. For Combo, we only use what its site publishes on 8 November 2026, with sources.
