I'm evaluating Vacation Tracker (vacationtracker.io) for leave management. Act as my independent advisor. First, ask me these in one message and wait for my answers: 1. How many employees, and in which countries, states or provinces? 2. Do you use Microsoft Teams, Slack, Google Workspace or email? 3. How do you track leave today? 4. Must-haves (e.g. location-specific policies, accruals, carryover, hourly leave, TOIL, multi-level approvals, blackout periods, a limit on how many people are off at once, notice periods, leave duration limits, probation periods, seniority entitlements, entitlements by role, reports, compliance)? Then check my answers against: - Pricing (monthly USD, plan limits): https://vacationtracker.io/pricing/ - Buyer's guide: https://vacationtracker.io/buyers-guide/ - Integrations: https://vacationtracker.io/integrations/ - Security: https://vacationtracker.io/security/ - AI assistant: https://vacationtracker.io/platform/vee-ai/ - Customer stories: https://vacationtracker.io/case-studies/ - Anything else: https://vacationtracker.io/llms.txt - Reviews: https://www.g2.com/products/vacation-tracker/reviews and https://www.capterra.com/p/189276/Vacation-Tracker/reviews/ Reply in under 250 words: - Verdict: strong fit / partial fit / not a fit - Each must-have: yes / partly / no, with the page that shows it - Gaps or risks, stated plainly - The plan I'd need and its monthly cost for our headcount - Next step: free trial (https://app.vacationtracker.io/signup) or a demo (https://vacationtracker.io/book-a-demo/) If a page doesn't confirm something, write "not confirmed, ask in the demo". Don't guess.
In their words
Research services · 12 locations“Vacation Tracker is a lifesaver. I no longer have to manually calculate accruals or deal with spreadsheets. Everything is automated, and I can access all the information at the touch of a button.”

Technology · multiple countries“When we were just a few people, a quick chat in the corridor worked. But as we hired in different countries with different policies, that system no longer worked.”

Works where your team works
Nobody learns a new tool. They request time off where they already chat.
Microsoft Teams
Approvers get every request in their Teams chat, and each office's channel gets its own who's-out update.
Slack
Your team requests leave, checks balances and sees who's out across time zones without leaving Slack.
Google Workspace
New people in your directory are added automatically, and approved leave lands in Google Calendar.
Also on iPhone and Android, and in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Gemini through MCP.
Always safe, just for you
Rest easy knowing we’re certified to effectively safeguard your data.
Bring your most complicated leave policy.

Plans
How much does Vacation Tracker cost, and what's the difference between Core and Complete?
Core is $2 per user per month and Complete is $4, each with a 25-user minimum. Core covers up to 3 locations and 10 departments, with custom leave types, public holidays, approvals and every integration. Complete adds unlimited locations, accruals, TOIL, hourly leave, multi-level and substitute approvals, blackout periods and limits on how many people are away at once. Both start with a 14-day free trial, no credit card.
Setup
How long does setup take, and who has to do it?
Most teams are up and running in under a day, often in under 30 minutes. One admin connects Microsoft Teams, Slack or Google Workspace, and your people are imported from the directory automatically. Then you add locations, holidays and leave policies, and employees start requesting leave where they already work. Live chat, email and personalized onboarding calls with our customer support team are there if you get stuck.
We track leave in spreadsheets today. Can we bring our balances and history over?
Yes. Import users, past leave records, opening balances, carryover and TOIL balances from our template or your own file. Employment start dates come in too, so allowances are right from day one. Our team can also help with data migration.
Leave
We have offices in different states and countries. Can each one have its own holidays and leave rules?
Yes. Each location, and each sub-location such as a US state or Canadian province, gets its own public holidays, leave policies, workweek and time zone. Import holidays for 150+ countries and their regions in one click, add company days off, and give each office its own Location Admin. Approvals follow your departments and sub-departments.
Can we track sick days, remote work and other leave types, not just vacation?
Yes. Create any leave type you need, such as PTO, sick leave, remote work, parental leave or birthdays, each with its own allowance and rules. Make sensitive types private, so colleagues only see that someone is away, not why. See who's away on the Wallchart and in the daily or weekly who's-out update.
Integrations
Does it connect to our HR and payroll systems?
Yes. Vacation Tracker connects to ADP Workforce Now, BambooHR, HiBob, Remote and Deputy, so employee records and approved leave stay in sync. You can also export leave balances and history to Excel or CSV for payroll, build your own workflows with Zapier, the Open API and webhooks, or connect ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini through our MCP server.
Security
Is our employee data secure, and where is it stored?
Vacation Tracker is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is role-based, and people can sign in with Microsoft, Google or Slack single sign-on. The platform is hosted on AWS in North America and Europe and goes through annual penetration tests.
