What we found — independently

Researched by AIBM, not supplied by the vendor. The vendor has not been involved in this page at all.

Our pricing check · 2026-08-28, read on their own pricing page at…EVERY PRICE ON THAT PAGE IS AUD EXCLUDING GST — the page states it in its own disclaimer.
What will cost you money if you skim itThere is no such thing as the Employment Hero price, and the first thing to fix is the currency: the pricing page is the Australian one, its disclaimer says every figure is AUD excluding GST, and there is no US page.

Cost-trap flags — each with its evidence

🪑 Per-seat pricing — Cost scales with every user you add
“HR Essentials A$10 per employee per month, HR Engage A$14; HR Elite and Employment Unlimited are quote-only.”
🧮 Usage-metered — Credits, overages or percentage fees on top of the subscription
“Interview credits reset monthly, unused credits do not roll over, and overage is billed automatically with no hard cap.”
🧩 Add-ons extra — Key features are paid add-ons on top of the plan
“There is no standalone payroll tier on the page any more: payroll sits inside Employment Unlimited, and Managed Payroll is an add-on at A$20 per empl…”

Genuinely good for

Australian and New Zealand employers who want HR and payroll from one vendor and will genuinely use both, where the per-employee rate beats separate systems

Skip it if

you are budgeting in US dollars — the page is Australian, in AUD excluding GST, with no US equivalent — or you only need one of the modules, since each is sold separately and priced as though you are buying the platform

The honest comparisonBambooHR or Deel — the usual comparison — build the total for the modules you actually need at your headcount, and convert before you compare: Employment Hero publishes in AUD excluding GST while both of those publish in USD

Work at Employment Hero? This page is yours the moment you claim it.

Write your own description and it appears at the top of this page, in your words, free — no fee during beta and no strings. What does not change: our research stays exactly where it is, underneath, and you cannot edit it. That is the point of the page. Two honest caveats before you bother: our audience is still modest and growing, and the outbound link is nofollow ugc, so this is not an SEO play.

We have pre-filled the name, site and category we already have on file, so the only thing left to write is the description. A claimed page also drops the noindex we keep on research-only pages.
