Frequently asked
- Are these prices final?
- No. Every figure on this page is indicative. Pricing is subject to change and is confirmed in writing when you place your order — that confirmed quote is what you are billed against.
- Do the prices include VAT?
- No. All amounts are in South African Rand and exclude VAT. VAT is added on your invoice where applicable.
- What does the monthly base price cover?
- Human Capital core records, document management, onboarding and offboarding workflows, leave management and custom branding — for the headcount band you choose. Performance management, development plans, auto compensation and custom workflows price separately.
- Are MCP integration and SSO recurring costs?
- No. On the Base plans both carry a once-off R2,500 setup fee rather than a monthly charge. On Enterprise both are included as standard.
- Can we start small and add modules later?
- That's the recommended path. Most customers start on the base plan and add Performance Reviews and Compensation when they need them — no contract renegotiation.
- What if we're over 500 employees?
- That's the Enterprise plan: unlimited active and archived records, every optional module included as standard, and private hosting and custom workflows available. Pricing is quoted per organisation.
- How long does deployment take?
- Days, not months. Standard configurations are live within 2 days.
