Why teams switch from Deputy to EasyRoster

The price is the price

Deputy charges per employee — your bill grows every time you hire. EasyRoster is flat-rate. 15 staff or 8 staff, you pay the same $19.99/month.

No surprise add-ons

GPS clock-in, in-app messaging, and AI tools are often premium add-ons on Deputy. EasyRoster bundles compliance AI and all core tools in one plan.

Built for NZ & AU

NZ regional anniversary days, AU state holidays, Mondayisation — all handled automatically. Data stays in Sydney (AWS ap-southeast-2), meeting NZ Privacy Act 2020 and AU Privacy Act 1988.
