Paid plans start at $80/mo.
Hourly’s published starting price is $80/month for Gold, plus $12 per active employee each month—so it is not an $80 flat bill. Platinum starts at $120/month plus $16 per active employee. Both plans list unlimited payroll runs, automated tax payments and filing, and workers’ comp integration. Hourly does not publish workers’ comp premiums or Platinum+ pricing, and annual billing details are not published. Budget for employee and coverage costs before comparing it with payroll-only tools.
01Every plan, line by line
| Plan | Billed annually | Billed monthly | Built for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold | — | $80 | Small businesses needing core payroll |
| Platinum | — | $120 | Businesses needing faster direct deposit |
| Platinum+ | — | Quote | Businesses wanting the full feature set |
Add-ons and overages
- Gold: $12 per active employee / month; an active user records at least one shift or gets paid at least once per month.
- Platinum: $16 per active employee / month.
- Workers’ comp is offered on a pay-as-you-go basis; price not published.
02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Per-employee fees
Gold adds $12 per active employee monthly; Platinum adds $16. Hourly defines an active user as someone who records a shift or gets paid at least once per month.
Workers’ comp premiums
Coverage is pay-as-you-go, but Hourly does not publish its price. Ask for a coverage estimate before calculating your total.
Platinum+ pricing
Hourly lists Platinum+ as exclusive pricing and asks businesses to contact it. The monthly base and employee fee are not published.
Annual billing terms
The pricing page lists monthly prices. Annual billing and any annual discount are not published.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Small businesses needing core payroll | Gold | Starts at $80/month plus $12 per active employee, with unlimited payroll runs, tax filing and workers’ comp integration. |
| Businesses prioritizing faster deposits | Platinum | Starts at $120/month plus $16 per active employee. Next-day direct deposit requires eight qualifying payroll runs and credit approval. |
| Businesses wanting all features | Platinum+ | Hourly says it includes the full feature set and same-day direct deposit, but pricing requires contacting the company. Eligibility conditions apply. |
04Is Hourly worth the money?
Hourly may be worth the price if you want payroll, time tracking, HR and workers’ comp connected in one platform. Gold and Platinum publish their base and employee fees, but neither gives a complete cost without a workers’ comp quote. Platinum+ is harder to compare because its price is private. We’d get a written total that includes employee fees and coverage before choosing it over a payroll-only option.
Hourly pricing FAQ
Is ComEd hourly pricing worth it?
Hourly is payroll and HR software, not ComEd’s utility pricing. Its plans start at $80/month plus per-employee fees, and it does not list ComEd rates or bill savings. If you mean the cost of ComEd electricity, this pricing page cannot answer that.
What is an example of hourly pricing?
For example, one active employee on Gold would make the listed monthly price $92: the $80 base plus $12 per active employee. That excludes workers’ comp, whose price Hourly does not publish. This is a software subscription example, not an hourly wage.
How much does ComEd pay per hour?
Hourly’s pricing page does not publish ComEd wages or job pay. It lists subscription prices for payroll software: Gold starts at $80/month plus $12 per active employee, while Platinum starts at $120/month plus $16 per active employee.
How can I make my ComEd bill cheaper?
Hourly sells payroll, time-tracking, HR and workers’ comp software; its pricing information does not cover ComEd electricity bills, rates or ways to reduce them. We can’t calculate potential utility savings from these plan details. Check ComEd’s own billing information for options relevant to your account.
