Question 1

How does the 2 month free trial work?

Accepted Answer

Start using Hours AI immediately with full access to all features. A credit card is required at signup, but you won't be charged during the 60-day trial. At the end of the trial, your subscription begins automatically. Cancel anytime before then to avoid charges.

Question 2

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

You pay $2.75 per active employee per month, billed monthly. If an employee is deactivated, they're not counted. Your bill adjusts automatically as your team size changes.

Question 3

What counts as an 'active employee'?

Accepted Answer

Any employee with 'active' status in your location. Deactivated employees (former staff, seasonal workers on break) don't count toward billing.

Question 4

Do employees need smartphones?

Accepted Answer

No. Employees can access everything through the online employee portal on any device with a web browser — desktop, laptop, or tablet. There's also an optional mobile app for employees who prefer it.

Question 5

How does the AI scheduling work?

Accepted Answer

Tell Hours AI your rules in plain English. The AI considers all rules, availability, and staffing requirements to generate optimized schedules. Every decision is transparent and explainable.

Question 6

What if I haven't used AI before?

Accepted Answer

No worries — you're always in control. You can start with AI off entirely and enable features one at a time as you get comfortable. The AI works for you, not the other way around.

Question 7

Is setup difficult?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Most teams are up and running in under 15 minutes — just add your employees, define your roles and shifts, and let AI generate your first schedule. Need extra help? We offer free one-on-one onboarding support to guide you through the entire setup process.

Question 8

Can I import my existing staff?

Accepted Answer

Yes! During onboarding, you can invite employees by email. They'll receive an invitation to join your location and access the employee portal or mobile app.

Question 9

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We use industry-standard encryption, secure authentication, and strict access controls. We never sell your data. All scheduling decisions are transparent and auditable.

Question 10

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, no contracts or commitments. Cancel from your billing settings and your subscription ends at the next billing date. You'll keep access until then.
