Deputy pricing
Deputy publishes 3 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 30 August 2026, Deputy pricing is $3.5/user/month across 3 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

Deputy 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.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scheduling | $3.5/user/month | 2 | Entry tier |
| Time & Attendance | $3.5/user/month | 2 | +$0/user/month, 2 more features |
| Premium | $4.9/user/month | 2 | +$1.4000000000000004/user/month, 2 more features |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

How that compares in Restaurants
Too few restaurants 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 Deputy badges page.
Before you pay for Deputy
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: 3 tiers between $3.5/user/month and $4.9/user/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Deputy against the tools that do have one before committing.
Deputy runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Deputy of Sydney, Australia. The full record is on the Deputy review, and the rest of the category is under best restaurants tools.
Deputy pricing questions
- How much does Deputy cost?
- Deputy publishes 3 tiers, from $3.5/user/month for Scheduling up to $4.9/user/month for Premium. The cheapest paid tier is $3.5/user/month.
- Does Deputy have a free plan?
- Not on the record we hold: Deputy is listed as subscription. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.
- What is the difference between Scheduling and Time & Attendance on Deputy?
- Time & Attendance costs $3.5/user/month against $3.5/user/month, and adds time clock, timesheets.
- Is the Premium plan on Deputy worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is full features, reporting. It costs $4.9/user/month against $3.5/user/month for Scheduling. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- Which restaurants tools can I use without paying?
- 4 of the 8 restaurants tools listed alongside Deputy have a free tier: Deliveroo, Swiggy, Zomato, Just Eat.
- What am I actually paying for with Deputy?
- The record lists 14 features across 3 areas: other, integrations, platform. In practice it is brought in for staff scheduling and shift management for hourly teams, time clocking, timesheets and labour cost tracking.
- Does Deputy charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 3 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these Deputy prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare Deputy against before paying?
- The closest restaurants tools in this directory are Deliveroo, Swiggy, Zomato, Just Eat. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Deputy covering price, platforms and features.
