Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The core — team, shift schedule, swaps, leave requests — is free for companies with up to 10 employees. You only pay for the modules you enable yourself.

How fast can we launch?

Usually within a day: register a company, add locations and positions, send invitations — employees fill in their own profiles. The first schedule can go out the same evening.

Do we need to install an app?

No. Smena+ runs in the browser on desktops and phones. The cabinet can be added to a phone’s home screen and behaves like an app; notifications arrive by e-mail and Telegram.

How do module trials work?

The first activation of any module gives 30 days for free — no card needed. The trial is one-shot: toggling the module off and on will not grant a second one.

How is module billing calculated?

Per active employee per month. Invoices are issued on the 1st and paid from the company balance within 6 days. Yearly billing is 20% cheaper.

What happens if an invoice is not paid?

Cabinet access is suspended but the data stays intact. The owner sees the invoice right on the lock screen — access is restored instantly after payment.

Can someone clock in away from the site?

Not if the location has a geofence: punches outside the perimeter are blocked or flagged, per your policy. Coordinates are stored with every punch.

Can a manager be limited to their own unit?

Yes. Every schedule has a manager list: checked managers see and run only their own rotas. Individual employees can get precise extra permissions without changing their role.

Is there an API?

Yes: a public REST API with access tokens (employees, calendar, work orders) and signed webhooks for schedule publishing, leave approvals and order events.

Where is the data stored?

On servers in Russia. Access is role-based, every action is written to the audit log, and sign-in can be protected with two-factor authentication.
