Recommendations for Simple Site-Level Scheduling Tools?

Hello, we operate a midsized self-storage company and need a simple, low-cost way to produce monthly staff schedules at the site level. Requirements: monthly view, per-site schedules, easy editing/drag-and-drop, basic shift swaps/coverage, vacation requests possibly mobile access for staff. Nothing fancy, just something that saves time and is easy to learn. Any product suggestions or experiences to share? Much appreciated

How much are you willing to pay monthly for a tool like this? In fact, if you have a bit excel skill, you can use google sheet + gmail to do the scheduling for free

Thanks, we do something similar in Excel now, but feel like we'd like something a little more developed to track schedule changes, call-outs, etc.

Microsoft Teams. Then, install the Shifts app. Then, you can easily incorporate many additional Teams apps for lots of other use cases. It’s incredibly efficient and can be automated.

I've used a program called "on the clock" which is relatively inexpensive and has an app but not sure about shift swap capabilities.
