How to read this comparison
“Included” refers to the comparison basis shown beside the price. A payment feature can be included while transactions still cost extra. “Plan-dependent” features are not covered by the starting price unless stated. “Not confirmed” means we could not establish the feature or its UK availability from the sources checked. It does not mean the supplier lacks it. Staff tools range from attendance to full HR; read the feature notes. Funding must fit your nation and local authority. Supplier-published claims have not been independently tested.
Stars show the average of approved customer reviews. “Rating & review count” balances that score with the number of reviews, using ten prior ratings at 3.5 stars behind the scenes. These are never displayed as customer reviews. “Highest star rating” sorts by the visible average instead. Suppliers with no reviews show “No reviews yet”. Equal scores are ordered by name.
Directory inclusion is not an endorsement. Features and prices can change: confirm details with the supplier before buying. No supplier has paid for its position in this comparison.
