How much does Payhawk cost?

Payhawk publishes 4 tiers, from $299/month for Travel up to $499/month for Procurement. The cheapest paid tier is $299/month.

Does Payhawk have a free plan?

Not on the record we hold: Payhawk is listed as Per module per month. Whether a free trial is offered is not something this record captures, so check the vendor's site.

What is the difference between Travel and Accounts Payable on Payhawk?

Accounts Payable costs $349/month against $299/month, and adds invoice capture and approval routing, unlimited document processing.

Is the Procurement plan on Payhawk worth it?

That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is purchase request and approval workflow, vendor management. It costs $499/month against $299/month for Travel. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.

Which payroll tools can I use without paying?

1 of the 8 payroll tools listed alongside Payhawk have a free tier: Payactiv.

Does Payhawk charge per user?

The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 4 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 Payhawk 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 Payhawk against before paying?

The closest payroll tools in this directory are Rain Instant Pay, Clair, Openwage, Refyne. Each has a side-by-side comparison with Payhawk covering price, platforms and features.

Payhawk pricing

Payhawk publishes 4 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 1 September 2026, Payhawk pricing is on request across 4 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.

Entry price: On request
Model: Per module per month
Tiers: 4
Free tier: Not on record

Payhawk 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.

Payhawk pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Travel	$299/month	2	Entry tier
Accounts Payable	$349/month	2	+$50/month, 2 more features
Cards and Expenses	$449/month	2	+$100/month, 2 more features
Procurement	$499/month	2	+$50/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.

What the product covers

The full Payhawk 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.

Other

Corporate cards
Accounts payable automation
Procurement module
Travel booking
ERP integrations
Multi-entity consolidation

People bring Payhawk in for a multi-entity european business wanting one system for cards, expenses and payables across currencies, a finance team that wants to price spend management before a sales call rather than negotiating blind, a company wanting only accounts payable automation without paying for card issuing it does not need, a mid-market business standardising erp-integrated expense reporting ahead of a fundraise or audit. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Payhawk 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.

Payhawk entry price against other Payroll tools
Tool	Entry price	Model	Rated	Head to head
Payhawk (this page)	On request	Per module per month	-
Rain Instant Pay	On request	quote	-	vs Payhawk
Clair	On request	quote	-	vs Payhawk
Openwage	On request	Per-transfer fee, paid by the employee	-	vs Payhawk
Refyne	On request	quote	-	vs Payhawk

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 Payhawk badges page.

Before you pay for Payhawk

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: 4 tiers between $299/month and $499/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Payhawk against the tools that do have one before committing.

Payhawk runs on web, ios, android, and is published by Payhawk of London, United Kingdom. The full record is on the Payhawk review, and the rest of the category is under best payroll tools.
