Up to 3 active contractors. The whole system, not a trial: the same evidence chain, the same audit trail.
No card£99 /mo
Up to 10 contractors. The first desk that has more compliance than one person can hold in their head.
£9.90 each£199 /mo
Up to 25 contractors. The band most agencies we talk to are in, and the one this was designed around.
£7.96 each£399 /mo
Up to 60 contractors. Several consultants, more than one umbrella in the chain, a real quarterly return.
£6.65 each£699 /mo
Up to 150 contractors. Beyond that the shape of the problem changes and so should the conversation.

Why contractors and not seats
The work this system does scales with the number of people on assignment, not with the number of people who log in. Charging per seat would mean an agency paying to let its own bookkeeper see an invoice, which is a tax on using the thing properly. So a consultant, a director, the accountant and anyone else you want in there are included at every tier, and the number that moves the price is the one that also moves the compliance burden.
Two models are deliberately not used here. Per timesheet is what most of this market runs on, and it charges you again when a client rejects a sheet and the worker resubmits it. A percentage of invoice value is the financing model, and it is not a software price at all.
What every tier includes
All of it. There is no tier where the compliance half is switched off, because the compliance half is the reason the product exists and a cheaper version without it would be a fourth timesheet tool.
| The chain | Placement, timesheet, invoice, Key Information Document, status determination, umbrella check, held as one record rather than six systems that agree by hand. |
| Both invoice series | Self-billed purchase invoices under HMRC Notice 700/62 and your own sales invoices, raised from the same client-approved week, each sequential, with Xero exports for both. |
| The statutory artefacts | KIDs under regulation 13A, right-to-work records with method and date, AWR clocks that understand breaks and pauses, the reg 21 assignment confirmation, and the quarterly intermediaries return built from placements. |
| The umbrella register | Every umbrella you pay through, its evidence file, expiry chasing, and the placements running through it. Since 6 April 2026 this is the only protection there is. |
| Four faces | Staff desk, client portal, worker portal and job board, all reading and writing the same record. |
| The audit chain | Hash-chained, never edited, never deleted, and assembled into an evidence pack for a placement in one click. |
| Getting in and out | The importer reads your own column headings. The offboarding bundle hands the whole tenant back, round-trip verified, whenever you ask. |
| Support | Included. Some vendors in this market bill £45 to £80 per phone call, which teaches people not to ring when something is wrong. |
What is not in the price
- No setup fee. Others charge £600 to £2,500 to begin. If your book is messy enough that you would rather we moved it, that is quoted as a piece of work and you can also just do it yourself through the importer.
- Right-to-work checks and IR35 determinations pass through at cost plus a margin rather than being bundled. A digital check is roughly £1.70 to £3.75 through a provider; a determination through a specialist is £50 to £125. Bundling them would mean either overcharging the agency that rarely needs one or capping the agency that does.
- Legal advice is not included and is not offered. This is evidence and workflow. Where the product encodes a rule it cites the source next to it, which is a different thing from advising you.
What it replaces
The comparison worth making is not against one product, because no single product does this. An agency covering the same ground today is usually paying two vendors that do not talk to each other.
| Today | Roughly | What it does not do |
|---|---|---|
| A back-office or timesheet system | £98 to £129 a month at this size | No KID generation, no umbrella register, no intermediaries return |
| Plus a compliance platform | £99 to £299 a month | No timesheets, no invoicing, so the rate data is rekeyed by hand |
| Both, unconnected | £197 to £428 | Nothing holds the join, which is the thing an inspection asks about |
Core is £199 and holds the join. That is the argument, and it only stands because KID generation, the umbrella register and the intermediaries return are in the product now rather than on a roadmap.
If your funder gives you a back office free
Many agencies at this size fund their payroll through an invoice financing provider, and the back office arrives with it: pay, bill, chase, credit control, bad debt cover. That is genuinely valuable and this does not replace it. We have read what those providers publish, and none of it mentions Key Information Documents, right to work, AWR, umbrella due diligence, IR35 or the intermediaries return.
Honest about the stage
Two things you should know before deciding, because finding them out later would be worse.
- There is no self-serve checkout yet. Agencies are being taken on one at a time, deliberately, because a compliance product that gets a rule wrong harms the customer at HMRC scale. Starting means a call and a look at your actual book.
- The application currently runs in a United States region. For UK personal data that is a restricted transfer, and it is stated plainly in the privacy notice and the data processing agreement rather than buried. Moving it comes before the first production customer's records.
Early agencies get founder pricing held for 24 months, and the terms are written down before anything starts.
