Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our pricing and plans

How does per-employee pricing work?

Essential plan costs R40 base + R10 per employee. For example, for 10 employees, you pay R40 + (10 × R10) = R140/month total. The rate per employee stays the same regardless of company size.

Can I change my plan at any time?

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Changes will be prorated and reflected in your next billing cycle.

Is there a setup fee?

No setup fees! All plans include free onboarding and migration assistance to help you get started quickly.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and EFT payments. All payments are processed securely through our payment partners.

Do you offer custom pricing for large organizations?

Yes! For organizations with 100+ employees or complex requirements, we offer custom enterprise pricing with dedicated support and advanced features. Contact our sales team for a custom quote.

Is my data secure?

Yes, we implement enterprise-grade security with data encryption, multi-tenant isolation, comprehensive audit trails, and role-based access control. We're also fully compliant with South African data protection regulations including POPIA.

What smart notifications are included?

Advanced and Enterprise plans include automated reminders for leave expiry, performance reviews, compliance deadlines, work permit renewals, employee anniversaries, probation periods, and document expiry - keeping you proactive rather than reactive.
