An honest comparison
Kordis vs Agendrix: scheduling app or staffing operations? (2026)
Last updated . Competitor facts checked against the sources at the bottom of this page.
Agendrix is Canadian employee scheduling and HR software from Sherbrooke, Quebec, published from $3.25 per user per month. It is built for scheduling your own staff in restaurants, retail, clinics, and facilities.
Kordis is built for staffing agencies, whose work is different: filling client shifts with temp workers, confirming them by call and text, screening applicants, gating credentials, and getting hours to payroll.
What is Agendrix good at?
Agendrix is one of Canada's best-liked scheduling apps: bilingual, inexpensive, with absence management in every plan and onboarding, HR documents and e-signatures on the Plus tier. For a business scheduling its own employees at fixed locations, it is a strong, fairly priced choice with Canadian support.
- Very affordable: published from $3.25 per user per month, or $2.93 on annual billing
- Canadian-built, bilingual, with strong local support
- Absence, vacation and leave management in both plans; HR document storage, e-signatures and automated onboarding forms on Plus
- Advertises over 40,000 five-star reviews across the app stores, rated 4.6 on Google Play and 4.7 on the App Store
How do Kordis and Agendrix compare?
| What matters | Kordis | Agendrix |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Canadian temp staffing agencies with 25 to 200 workers | Businesses scheduling their own employees |
| Pricing | Flat per agency (founding rate, then $499 a month), not per user | $3.25 to $5.25 per user per month billed monthly, or $2.93 to $4.73 billed annually, published |
| Shift filling | ShiftFill and Call-Out Cover: confirmation texts and calls go out on their own; fills and backfills are staged for your OK | Manager-built schedules and swaps for your own staff |
| Screening | Smart Screen: applicant screening calls with transcripts and scores | Not an applicant screening product |
| Credential tracking | AutoFile and Renewal Clock: worker evidence, site authorizations, actual expiry dates, and dispatch gating kept in their proper scope | HR documents on Plus; no dispatch gating on card expiry |
| Canadian rules | Ontario, BC, and Alberta rules built in: province of work, site scope, and readiness gates | Canadian and bilingual; Quebec-native, scheduling-level rules |
Agendrix publishes Essential at $3.25 and Plus at $5.25 per user per month billed monthly, or $2.93 and $4.73 billed annually (about 10% less), on agendrix.com/pricing, checked 2026-08-03. One caveat for a Canadian buyer comparing quotes: the page shows bare dollar figures with no currency label next to them, though its own structured data marks the currency as CAD. Confirm the currency with Agendrix before you budget against it.
Pick Agendrix if
- You are scheduling your OWN employees at your own locations (a restaurant, clinic, warehouse)
- You want inexpensive scheduling plus light HR in one Canadian tool
Pick Kordis if
- You are a staffing agency placing temp workers at CLIENT sites, which is a different job
- You need applicant screening, staged confirmation calls, and same-day backfills
- You need assignment-specific readiness gates: equipment and site authorization, exposure-triggered WHMIS, and plant or task modules
- Your hours must reconcile from client timesheets into a payroll file
Common questions
Can a staffing agency run on Agendrix?
Some try, because it is inexpensive and Canadian. It schedules people well, but agency work quickly outgrows it: no applicant screening, no staged confirmation calling, no credential gating on dispatch, and no client-timesheet reconciliation into payroll files.
Is Agendrix cheaper than Kordis?
Per seat, yes: from $3.25 per user per month billed monthly, or $2.93 billed annually, it is one of the cheapest tools in Canada. The comparison is really scope: Agendrix schedules your own staff; Kordis runs a staffing agency's fill-confirm-screen-payroll loop at a flat agency price.
Do they work together?
There is no integration between them, and for a staffing agency there is rarely a reason to run both: the agency's scheduling lives inside its shift operations. A business that only schedules its own employees does not need Kordis at all.
