Tanda review

Tanda combines rostering, time tracking, payroll and HR for Australian businesses with hourly teams. The aim is to connect the shift plan to the hours worked and then to payroll, rather than manage each step in separate tools. Its features include demand-based rostering, employee availability and leave management, clock-ins, timesheets and pay runs created from timesheet data.

For Australian employers, a central feature is Modern Award interpretation: Tanda automates calculations for Award pay conditions. It also supports payroll processing and filing Single Touch Payroll (STP) from Tanda. HR functions cover hiring, onboarding and staff records, while employees can use mobile features such as shift swapping and leave management.

The broad appeal is an all-in-one workflow for teams that need scheduling, attendance, pay and employee administration in one system. Tanda says it supports Fair Work compliance; that should not be read as a guarantee that every employer’s payroll is compliant without review.

Tanda’s main strength is the breadth of its workforce workflow. Rosters, clock-ins, timesheets and payroll sit alongside HR tools, so it can cover more than scheduling or payroll alone. Demand-based rostering is designed to build shifts around workforce demand, and the system also tracks leave and unavailability. That gives managers a way to account for employee availability while planning rosters.

Award interpretation is especially relevant for Australian employers paying hourly staff under Modern Awards. Tanda automates calculations for Award pay conditions, and the product can create pay runs from timesheets and file STP. Those features connect time records with payroll rather than leaving employers to transfer the information between systems.

The listed all-in-one HR + Payroll + Workforce Management bundle costs $12.80+GST per user per month, according to the published pricing information. It includes HR, payroll, rostering and time tracking, timesheets and payroll. For a business that wants those functions together, the bundle gives a visible starting price instead of requiring a quote for every module. Employee mobile features, including shift swaps and leave management, also give staff some control over routine requests.

The headline bundle price is clear, but the cost of buying only one part of Tanda is not. Payroll, Workforce Management and HR are each listed as “pricing by request”; the published pricing information gives no standalone monthly or annual prices. That makes it hard to compare a single module with a specialist tool or estimate the cost of adding modules later.

The bundle is listed at $12.80+GST per user per month, but annual billing terms are not published. The pricing information also does not list a free plan, and a free-trial offer is not published. It does not state user caps, feature caps or other plan limits, so buyers should ask Tanda to confirm those details and the full GST-inclusive quote before budgeting.

That leaves a practical trade-off: the all-in-one package has a usable starting price, but businesses interested in only payroll, HR or workforce management have less price clarity. If you need predictable standalone costs or a published annual rate before speaking to sales, the available pricing details do not provide them.

The listed all-in-one bundle costs $12.80+GST per user per month, with HR, payroll, rostering and time tracking included. The pricing data identifies the currency as USD, but the page’s price notation includes GST; confirm the currency and tax treatment with Tanda before budgeting.

There isn’t a published tier ladder to compare: Payroll, Workforce Management and HR are each priced by request. That means we can’t calculate the jump from a standalone module to the bundle, or say whether combining modules costs less. The listed bundle is for businesses wanting an all-in-one system; individual modules target payroll, rostering and attendance, or employee processes.

Annual billing terms aren’t published, and there’s no free plan. A free-trial term isn’t published either. No add-ons are listed in the published pricing details. If you need a firm quote, ask Tanda to price your user count and required modules, and confirm GST, billing frequency and any contract terms before comparing it with another platform.

The published information describes Tanda’s features, but doesn’t specify migration services, supported import formats, data-export options, contract length or cancellation terms. Before switching, ask how employee records, rosters, timesheets, leave balances and payroll history can be moved in or exported. Also confirm how much setup your team must do and whether historical payroll data will remain accessible after you leave.

We don’t have Reddit posts or comments in the published material, so we can’t responsibly say what users report as reasons for leaving Tanda. The clearest buying risk in the available information is price transparency: standalone module prices and annual billing terms aren’t published. If you’re considering a move away, get written confirmation of your exit process and data access first; if you’re moving in, request a complete quote and migration plan before committing.
