Employment Hero plans, side by side

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.

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 Employment Hero badges page.
Before you pay for Employment Hero
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: 5 tiers between Free and 359/month, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
Employment Hero runs on not recorded. The full record is on the Employment Hero review, and the rest of the category is under best hr tools.

- HR Essentials costs 10/month against Free, and adds leave management, employee records, document management, onboarding/offboarding.

- What am I actually paying for with Employment Hero?
- The record we hold does not itemise what each tier includes beyond the plan names and prices. The Employment Hero review carries whatever feature detail is available.
- Does Employment Hero charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 5 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 Employment Hero 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 Employment Hero against before paying?
- The closest hr tools in this directory are Talkspace for Business, Spring Health, Unmind, Guild. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Employment Hero covering price, platforms and features.
