Eddy review

Eddy is an all-in-one HR and payroll platform for small and midsize businesses. It brings hiring, onboarding, employee records, time tracking, PTO, and payroll into one system, so teams can manage those workflows without separate tools for each task.

The platform covers the employee lifecycle. Hiring tools handle job listings, candidate tracking, interview pipelines, messaging, and offer letters. Onboarding includes task templates, new-hire packets, e-signatures, and progress tracking. Employee records can store documents, job details, certifications, and training records.

For ongoing workforce management, Eddy tracks hours and time off, supports custom PTO policies and approvals, and can send timesheets into payroll. The product’s pricing page places basic HR features in Starter and Growth; payroll and hiring are included with Premium, which has custom pricing. They are also listed as paid add-ons.

Eddy’s appeal is breadth. Small businesses can keep hiring, onboarding, personnel records, time tracking, and PTO in one platform rather than stitching together separate systems. The feature set covers practical handoffs: new-hire paperwork can use e-signatures, time punches can be geotagged, and tracked hours can flow into payroll.

The HR tools are more than a document cabinet. Eddy supports job listings and candidate pipelines, onboarding templates and progress tracking, training records, custom data fields, an org chart, and manager approval flows. PTO includes custom policies, requests, approvals, balances, and holiday calendars. That gives teams room to formalize processes as they grow.

The pricing page lists a relatively low per-person starting rate: Starter is $4 per person per month, and Growth is $8. Both are month-to-month, though each also has a monthly base fee. Starter includes records, document storage, benefits tracking, onboarding, time tracking, PTO, and basic reporting; Growth adds training tracking and more customization. That makes the plan ladder clear for teams that need HR tools before they need payroll.

The headline per-person prices understate the bill because both published HR plans have base fees. Starter is $4 per person monthly plus a $50 monthly base fee; Growth is $8 per person plus $75. The pricing page does not publish annual rates, and says annual agreements may include incentives. There is no free plan, and a free-trial term is not published.

Payroll and hiring complicate the comparison. Premium includes both, but Eddy does not publish its price. The listed payroll add-on costs $6 per person plus a $50 monthly base fee, while Hiring is $199 per month. The pricing page does not explain whether those add-on charges apply to Premium customers, so buyers should confirm the quote and any overlap before budgeting. Next-day pay also carries extra charges, but the amount is not published.

That leaves a meaningful gap between the entry price and the cost for a business that needs the full HR, payroll, and hiring package. Eddy may still be convenient as a single system, but teams cannot work out the complete Premium cost from public prices alone.

Eddy lists Starter at $4 per person per month, plus a $50 monthly base fee. Growth is $8 per person per month, with a $75 base fee. So the move from Starter to Growth adds $4 per person and $25 to the monthly base, before accounting for team size. Growth adds training tracking, custom signature documents and onboarding templates, custom data fields, an org chart, and manager approval flows.

Premium includes Growth, Eddy Payroll, Hiring, and premium support, but its price is custom—not published. Eddy separately lists payroll at $6 per person plus a $50 monthly base fee, and Hiring at $199 per month. Next-day pay costs extra; the amount is not published. Check which plan and add-ons you need before comparing the headline $4 rate with other systems.

Plans are month-to-month. Eddy says annual agreements may include additional incentives, but annual prices are not published, so there’s no public annual rate to compare.

Plan a switch around the records and workflows you need to move: Eddy covers employee details and documents, hiring, onboarding, time tracking, PTO, and payroll. The available information does not specify migration services, import formats, bulk export options, or what data you can take with you when you leave. Confirm those details with Eddy before moving employee files, time-off balances, payroll settings, or hiring records into the platform.

Eddy’s plans are month-to-month, though annual agreements may include incentives. The terms for ending an annual agreement and any data-retention or deletion rules are not published here, so ask before signing. Payroll and Hiring are included in the custom-priced Premium plan; payroll and hiring are also listed as add-ons. Check how those choices affect your exit plan, not just your starting cost.
