Eddy is built for the small business owner who wants real HR software at a low per-person cost. The Starter plan, at $4 per person per month plus a $50 base, covers records, document storage, benefits tracking, onboarding, time tracking, PTO and basic reporting. Growth adds training tracking, custom signature documents, onboarding templates, custom data fields, an org chart and manager approval flows. Payroll is an add-on at $6 per person plus a $50 base, with unlimited payrolls, quarterly and annual tax filings and W-2 and 1099 preparation, and hours and time off feed into it automatically. A hiring add-on at $199 a month posts jobs to major boards. Because payroll carries its own base fee, a team using HR and payroll pays two base fees, so compare totals with Gusto and OnPay. For businesses that want time tracking and PTO included from the start, Eddy offers a lot for the price.
