Deputy Pricing FAQ

01 How much does Deputy cost?

Pricing varies by plan. Check the official pricing page for current rates.

02 Does Deputy have a free tier?

No. Deputy has no free plan, but you can start a free trial before choosing Lite, Core or Pro.

03 What are the main features of Deputy?

Key features include the items listed in the pricing tiers above.

04 Is Deputy worth the price?

Value depends on your specific needs and use case. Compare features across plans.

05 What is Deputy best suited for?

Deputy is well suited for hospitality and retail businesses with a high number of casual workers, part-timers, and hourly employees. The Deputy kiosk makes it easy for employees to clock in and out and prevents buddy punching. It works particularly well when you need to track hours for each employee and integrate timesheet data with payroll systems. It may not be ideal for businesses where most employees are full-time salaried workers and tracking individual hours is not critical.

06 How does Deputy integrate with payroll?

Deputy offers one-click payroll integration and can export timesheets to Excel or CSV format to expedite payroll processing. It integrates with accounting systems and HRIS platforms for seamless payroll operations, eliminating the need for manual exports and imports. The system is designed to work with award rates and can integrate with systems like Xero.

07 Can I edit a past time entry if I forgot to clock in for a shift?

Editing past time entries has become more difficult in recent updates. Previously, users could easily go back and adjust the start time of a missed shift. The current behavior requires clocking into a different shift and then manually adjusting, which adds friction compared to the old workflow.

08 How customizable is Deputy's auto-scheduling feature?

Deputy's auto-scheduling has limited support for individual worker preferences such as preferred shift frequency (e.g., 2–3 vs. 4–5 shifts per week) or preferred shift length. Some managers report that these limitations prevent them from relying on auto-scheduling fully and require manual overrides.

09 Is Deputy easy for frontline employees to use?

Yes — ease of use for employees is consistently cited as a strength. Schedules are described as easy to read, and the clock in/out flow is straightforward, though users occasionally report the clock-out button requires multiple taps.

10 How does Deputy handle shift notifications?

Deputy sends text notifications when shifts change, but some users find these notifications confusing or messy — particularly when multiple changes occur close together. There is also no ability to schedule when newsflash messages are pushed to employees.
