What an employee costs

Every position comes in three sizes, set by how much work the business has. One fixed price a month, no usage bills, a person at on hand accountable for the work.

Part-time

from $250

a small business, light volume

Full-time

from $650

the role done all day for a typical small business

Enterprise

from $1,100

a busy business, high volume or many locations

Every employee includes

  • Its own email address, and chat with the owner in the on hand app.
  • Connections to the business's own systems: QuickBooks, Gmail, Outlook and 170 more, read-only until the owner says otherwise.
  • A training period: it learns the business and nothing goes out without approval until the owner is ready.
  • A person at on hand who watches its work and answers for it.
  • Its own locked space: one business's data is never in reach of another's.
