How's it free

 

Yes, any software marked with FREE really is free:

  • We don't plan to EVER charge you for all the free software features.
  • The free software features have no premium plan.
  • It's the same free plan for all.

Also:

  • We won't spam you.
  • We won't sell your private info.
  • We'll keep building great software.

We believe business software can be free.

We believe the world can be better when:

  • Employers have better tools to look after their people.
  • Admin tasks melt away.
  • And paperwork gets automated.

Our mission is:

        "Create a world where everyone gets better pay."

We believe that it starts by making high quality free software for employers.

Originally, we needed a payroll and HR product for ourselves, to help us run a call centre we were operating a few years ago. Then we thought, why not give it away for free so others could benefit too.

We hope that by making it free, it attracts more interest and resources to make it even better, over time.

Much of the software that we provide is free.

There's two parts to making a free business product sustainable:

  1. We keep our costs low:
    • We're frugal in how we run our business.
    • We use free software ourselves, including open source software.
    • We use first class help and documentation so our users can look up answers themselves.
  2. However, we also make money by:
    • Charging a fee for usage related services like tax and pension filing.
    • Building complimentary business services and products.

We're here to stay because:

  • We're 100% boot-strapped (self-funded).
  • We haven't taken any outside investment (yet).
  • We've got savings in the bank.
  • We're a team of passionate individuals who really care about building something great.

We're here for the long-term, until we achieve our mission.

Our mission is:

        "Create a world where everyone gets better pay."
