“From” means the supplier publishes a starting price rather than an exact quote. Quote-only products without a reproducible public floor are outside this edition.
Method
Download the source dataCSV · seven providers · 21 rowsOne public pricing rule, applied three times.
The calculation is deliberately simple enough to reproduce from the CSV.
Select the public entry plan
The benchmark does not claim that entry plans contain the same features.
Apply the rule at 10, 25 and 50
Headcount bands, per-person rates and small-team floors stay intact.
Keep variable prices labelled “From”
A public starting price is never turned into an exact supplier quote.
Questions
Using the pricing benchmark.
Does the cheapest plan include the same features from every provider?
No. This benchmark compares public entry-plan price shapes, not equivalent products. Features, limits, support and contract terms differ, so check the official source and the product scope you need.
Does the benchmark include VAT, annual discounts or add-ons?
No. The table uses public monthly prices before VAT and excludes promotions, annual-payment discounts, optional add-ons, implementation charges and negotiated terms.
Why are some prices marked From?
A From label means the provider publishes a starting price but the final price can vary with volume, plan configuration or commercial terms. The table never turns a published floor into an exact quote.
How should I use the benchmark when asking for quotes?
Give each supplier the same headcount and required features. Ask for the monthly price, implementation, add-ons, tax, initial term, renewal term and total cost at your likely next headcount in writing.
