Why switch

Four reasons to switch from Deputy to Teamagogo.

A bill that grows with every shift worker.

With DeputyLite is $5 per user a month, Core is $6.50 and Pro is $9. Administrators and supervisors count as users too. Thirty people on Core is $195 a month.

With TeamagogoThirty people is $69 a month on All-In, or $29 on Basic. Eleven people on Deputy Lite is $55, above Basic at $29 but below All-In at $69. Lite costs less than All-In up to 13 people (13 × $5 = $65) and more from 14 (14 × $5 = $70); Core costs less up to 10 people (10 × $6.50 = $65) and more from 11 (11 × $6.50 = $71.50). Basic costs less than Lite from 6 people. The price does not grow with each hire. You pay for the people who actually worked. No contract.

People who come and go still cost a month.

With DeputyAdding a user charges the full month. Archiving someone after ten days still charges the full month. Unarchiving a former employee charges the full month again.

With TeamagogoYou pay for the people who actually worked. Restaurants and shops with turnover don't pay for names that never made the schedule.

The good parts sit in higher tiers or add-ons.

With DeputyAuto-scheduling and timesheet auto approval are on Core. Deputy Payroll is an add-on at $8 per user a month plus a $49 base fee, HR is $2 per user, Messaging+ is $1.95 and Analytics+ is $1.50.

With TeamagogoShifty, optional timesheet auto approval, tasks, tip pooling and team chat are part of Teamagogo. Keep your own payroll company. No add-ons.

Thanks that lands in gold.
