Frequently Asked Questions
- How should I compare hr & payroll prices?
- Compare the same service and billing unit first. HR software, payroll, time tracking, contractor management and employer-of-record services cover different work; one category average or cheapest vendor would be misleading.
- How much does hr & payroll cost for a team of 5?
- Deel: $25/mo for 5 employees (Deel HR (Core); hr). Gusto: $79/mo for 5 workers (Simple; payroll). OnPay: $79/mo for 5 workers (Payroll Essentials; payroll). Buddy Punch: $48.95/mo for 5 users (Starter; time tracking). These are lowest known monthly-billed plans for each product, not equivalent service bundles. Optional add-ons and taxes are excluded.
- How are base fees and per-person charges calculated?
- Monthly total equals the fixed monthly base fee plus the per-employee, per-user or per-contractor rate multiplied by the billed quantity. Each plan shows its service and unit. A base fee is charged once, not once per worker.
- Are annual prices and custom quotes included?
- Annual prices are shown only when explicit annual components are available and are monthly equivalents billed annually. Missing terms require a vendor quote; monthly prices are not assumed to be annual prices. Check current vendor terms before buying.
