Pricing models explained

  • Per employee per month. A rate for each active employee. Easy to forecast if headcount is stable.
  • Per hire. A charge for each new hire onboarded. Fits seasonal or low-volume hiring but penalizes spikes.
  • Base fee + per employee. A platform fee plus a per-person charge. Small teams carry a higher cost per hire.
  • Bundled with HRIS. Onboarding included in an HRIS or payroll subscription, often with fewer workflow options.
