Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Employment Hero

  • HR Essentials at AUD 10/employee/month requires a minimum of 10 users, so it cannot be bought for a team smaller than that even if actual headcount is lower
  • Core features like payroll, chat and rostering are unbundled add-ons billed separately per employee, for example Managed Payroll costs an extra AUD 20/employee/month with a AUD 400 monthly minimum

Velocity Global

  • Velocity Global has rebranded to Pebl and velocityglobal.com redirects to hellopebl.com
  • No pricing is published for the Employer of Record service; the site routes to a demo request with no published per-employee rate
  • The offering is an Employer of Record arrangement, so the employee is legally employed by the provider rather than the client
