Number of Seats/Users: Day Off offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Day Off that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Day Off. Day Off reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Day Off offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Day Off. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Day Off often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Here at Spendbase our internal data shows that Day Off is hitting the mark for most Spendbase clients, especially on usability and price, with a few clear areas where teams still feel friction.

Key positives our clients highlight:

• Ease of use & adoption
• Very little or no training needed
• Staff can self-serve: submit, track, and manage PTO on their own

• Managers like the quick overview via calendar and dashboards

• Operational impact

• Major time saver vs spreadsheets and manual tracking
• Better visibility into who’s off and when, which supports staffing and planning

• Built-in communication and approval workflows reduce back-and-forth

• Fit for smaller budgets

• Per-seat price is called out as “so much cheaper than the competition”
• Free and trial tiers are used heavily by small businesses and non-profits

• Some clients still need to justify even $1/user, which is where discounts and optimization help

• Flexibility

• Custom leave types (e.g., sick, birthday, special PTO)
• Ability to support multiple teams and holidays across countries
• Mobile access is a real plus for some teams

At the same time, our internal data shows consistent themes where Spendbase clients feel Day Off could improve:

• Integrations & compatibility
• Strong demand for Outlook/O365 and Google Calendar sync

• Desire for smoother work with Safari and more third-party tools

• Calendar & reporting quirks

• Confusion around week start (Monday vs Sunday) and date formats
• Reporting and analytics seen as “fickle” or not clear enough

• Accrual issues, especially for employees starting mid-year

• Feature gaps

• More granular time tracking (late arrivals/early departures)
• Easier handling of split days and TOIL (time off in lieu)
• Archiving ex-employees instead of deleting
• Copying holidays across locations
• More control over notification times and stronger support resources

From a Spendbase discount perspective, this tells us:

• Day Off is already a high-value, low-cost solution for PTO management.
• However, missing integrations and advanced features can lead to extra tools or manual work.
• When negotiating or right-sizing Day Off plans, we focus on:
• Matching the paid tier only to the features your team will actually use
• Ensuring you don’t over-buy seats or functionality just to work around these gaps.
