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 onboarding, HR documents, e-signatures, and absence management built in. 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
- Canadian-built, bilingual, with strong local support
- HR extras included: onboarding, documents, e-signatures, absence management

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 credential expiry to gate dispatch (forklift classes, Smart Serve, ProServe)
- 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 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.
