Skello is good at what it does. Sold by the module.
First the honest part: Skello is not a bad product. The Smart Planner with auto-scheduling genuinely saves time for French brasseries running 40 staff per service, French labour law is well encoded, and the native integrations with PayFit, Silae and Lightspeed work cleanly. For multi-site restaurant groups in Paris or Lyon, Skello is a justified default choice.
But Skello prices per site and per module. A café in Brussels that wants both scheduling and a time clock pays €99 per month for Duo Standard or €129 for Duo Max. Two venues, you double. The SD Worx link exists, but not Securex, Acerta or Partena. In Belgium, Skello only covers one corner of the payroll map.
How Skello pricing stacks up
On skello.io/en/pricing you see a matrix: Clocking Standard €59 per month per venue, Planning Standard €79, Clocking Max €89, Planning Max €109. For both together you pick Duo Standard €99 or Duo Max €129. The per-venue minimum is €49 ex VAT. Add-ons: HR Expert €20 per month, payroll service €20 per month per employee. Annual contract is not mandatory, but cuts 10% off.
At SuperShift the schedule, the time clock, shift swaps and wage export are one package. €15 per month for Pro up to 100 staff on one site, €29 per month for Ultra with multi-venue. No AI Smart Planner, no 24/7 French phone desk, no advanced labour-cost dashboard. What you do get: a price on the page that does not grow per module.
Where Skello stays French
Skello has no native Dimona filing and no specific flexi-job logic. For a Belgian venue, that is exactly the work you want to automate each week: tracking the 475-hour student rule, assigning flexi-job staff correctly, and getting the Dimona declaration filed before every shift.
The SD Worx hook works if your group is already on SD Worx. Securex, Acerta and Group S — together covering a large slice of Belgian hospitality — are not listed as partners. For a multi-site group in Brussels that may be fine. For a brasserie in Antwerp that just switched to Securex, it means manual timesheets every month.

Questions we get a lot
Can I move my Skello data across?
You export your employee file from Skello as CSV and import it into SuperShift. Historical schedules you leave behind. Keep your Skello account in read-only for a month as a reference, then cancel — no annual lock-in to wait out, so no legal notice period.
Will I miss much without the Skello Smart Planner?
The Smart Planner suggests shifts automatically based on forecasts. Useful at 60 staff with complex rotations. For a Belgian café with 8 to 30 people whose evenings you know by heart, it adds little. Drag-and-drop on a weekly schedule stays faster at that size.
What about Securex and Acerta?
Skello only ships an SD Worx link for Belgium. SuperShift exports timesheets in formats SD Worx, Securex, Acerta and Group S accept. No API magic, just a monthly download that works. For most Belgian venues that is enough.
Same time as a Skello demo: 30 minutes. The difference: one price for scheduling and time clock together, and timesheets that travel to any Belgian social secretariat. Make an account, import your staff, plan your first week this afternoon.
