DailyPay plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

The full DailyPay feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

- Savings features
- Adoption reporting
People bring DailyPay in for a national restaurant or retail chain using same day pay as a recruitment claim in a tight hourly labour market, a staffing agency paying temporary workers immediately after a completed shift, a healthcare employer covering nurse and aide shift gaps with instant pay incentives, an employer eliminating manual payroll advances and off cycle cheque runs for final pay. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to DailyPay are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Payroll
Too few payroll tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the DailyPay badges page.
Before you pay for DailyPay
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: a single tier at On request. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare DailyPay against the tools that do have one before committing.
DailyPay runs on web, ios, android, and is published by DailyPay of New York, New York, United States. The full record is on the DailyPay review, and the rest of the category is under best payroll tools.
