COMPARE
Four kinds of software, and where they break down. What Mory does, and where it stops — including when you're better off with something else.
* Example calculation — time saved varies per organisation and current way of working.
What Mory replaces
THE FOUR ALTERNATIVES
Each type does one part well. None of the four covers the day end to end — from the roster to the tax return.
Individual time logging, for one person
What they do well
Quick to set up, cheap, and enough while you work alone and hours are the only question.
Where they fall short
The difference with Mory
Mory does the same while you work alone — and holds up the day you hire someone.
Rosters and time tracking, for any industry
What they do well
Strong at planning at scale: complex rosters, many staff, fine-grained permissions.
Where they fall short
The difference with Mory
In Mory the roster starts the chain: hours, allowances, pay, invoice and tax return all follow from it.
Accounting software with time registration as a byproduct
What they do well
Invoicing, financial reports, VAT filing, seamless link with your accountant.
Where they fall short
The difference with Mory
Mory puts the cleaning operation at the center and exports to your bookkeeping — not the other way around.
Bespoke ERP or internal system for a single company
What they do well
100% tailored to one organization, custom workflow precision down to the detail.
Where they fall short
The difference with Mory
Mory delivers 80% out-of-the-box; for specific extensions there's Mory custom — without vendor lock-in.
FEATURE MATRIX
Hundreds of feature comparisons become marketing bingo. Below are 22 that really matter for cleaning companies.
Accounting export: Mory delivers the payroll journal as a CSV with RGS ledger mapping, which your bookkeeper imports into their own package. There are currently no direct integrations with accounting packages.
REAL SCENARIOS
Four situations from an ordinary month — and what the different tools do with them.
No detection. Only visible when the cleaner fills in their timesheet — usually end of the week.
Sometimes planned-vs-actual detection, but manual correction via manager.
Not visible until timesheet export on Friday.
Depends on what the vendor has built — usually no real-time detection.
Auto-detection within 10 minutes. Manager + cleaner get a notification. One tap to clock in retroactively via app or NFC.
No module for client complaints.
Manually logged in chat or email, no link to shift or cleaner.
Not built in.
Varies — only if the vendor specifically built this.
Logbook entry directly linked to client, location, shift and cleaner. Audit trail preserved for future audits and client reports.
No CAO engine, no break tracking.
Generic ATW check, but no CAO Cleaning-specific rules.
Only hour totals, no break details.
Varies — often only the part built that was explicitly requested during implementation.
Per-employee audit trail with breaks, hard/soft violation classification based on CAO Cleaning 2024-2026 + ATW. One-click export.
Out of scope. The app knows hours only; the return happens elsewhere, with figures you assemble yourself.
Out of scope. A wfm platform has no invoices, so no vat either.
This is where the package is at its best: the boxes are right, the return comes out.
Depends on what was built. Vat is rarely in there — that is exactly the part left to the bookkeeper.
The boxes fill as you invoice, so the return is already there. Your bookkeeper looks at the same screen and files from their own package.
WHERE WE EXCEL
Not everything. But the things that go wrong when they are missing.
Other tools claim CAO support, but on inspection it turns out to be a generic checkbox for 'Dutch working hours law'. Mory's compliance engine is purpose-built for CAO Cleaning 2024-2026 — including break rules per shift length, ATW limits, and the distinction between hard violations (legally breached) and soft warnings (CAO peculiarities).
Every week, every employee is automatically checked against these rules. No more manual Excel checks before an audit, and no argument afterwards about which limit applied. Live engine, built in, transparent.
In most packages the bookkeeper is a destination: you export, you email, they import, and three weeks later something turns out not to add up. In Mory they have their own login and look at the same figures you do — vat, bank, payroll and expenses, at the moment they happen.
They cost you nothing, however many clients they have in Mory. Questions go on the entry itself, not into an email with an attachment. And what they may see and do is yours to set — and to withdraw.
Mory is built alongside Multidiensten DM — a real cleaning company, with real shifts, real employees and a real payroll. Every feature comes from somewhere: a month-end that did not add up, or a client asking for proof.
A bug in a CAO calculation reaches the people who wrote the calculation engine — not a support desk that passes it on. That is the difference between seven people and a vendor with a ticketing system.
PRICING IN PERSPECTIVE
Comparison of pricing models, not absolute amounts — those depend on your team size.
Pricing model
Low per user
Range
€5 - €15 per person / mo
Verdict
Cheap if you're solo — unusable for teams

€8 - €25 per person / mo + enterprise upgrades
Verdict
Many features, high total cost of ownership
Pricing model
Two tariffs, nothing else

Transparent, scalable, no surprises
Pricing model
Bookkeeping subscription + time add-on
Range
€30 - €80 / mo + €5 - €15 per time user
Verdict
Cheap add-on, but you miss the real work
Pricing model
One-time development + maintenance
Range
€20,000 - €80,000 + €500 - €2,000 / mo
Verdict
Only viable from 50+ employees
30-day trial, no credit card. Cancel whenever — no auto-renewal, no notice-period traps, no vendor lock-in. Data export is always available in standard formats.
HONEST
No sales pitch. Here's when Mory fits less well and you're better off looking elsewhere.
You have 200+ employees with existing payroll systems deeply integrated into your workflow. General WFM platforms have broader out-of-the-box integration matrices.
You have no staff and don't expect to. For hours, invoices and vat alone there are cheaper packages that do exactly that.
You have €40,000+ budget for a fully custom ERP and want 100% ownership. An external custom partner can deliver a fully tailored system.
Your staff don't work on site. Mory is built around clocking in where the work happens; if everyone sits in an office, you're paying for half an app.
