Why teams pick WagePilot
- UK-native holiday accrual, record-keeping and GBP billing
- A flat £10 beyond 10 staff instead of a per-hub plan
- A focused tool for shifts and pay, not a sprawling all-in-one
When Connecteam might suit you better
If you have 10 or fewer staff and want a free all-in-one with team chat, training and broad ops tools, Connecteam’s free tier is hard to beat; we’ll say so plainly. WagePilot wins once you’d be paying, and when UK holiday law and a live cost board matter.
The cost as you grow
Per-seat pricing means every hire nudges the bill up. With WagePilot it stays flat. Here's the gap as the team grows.
See full pricing| Your team | Typical per-seat tool | WagePilot |
|---|---|---|
| 5 staff | ~£20/mo | Free |
| 10 staff | ~£40/mo | £10/mo |
| 25 staff | ~£100/mo | £10/mo |
| 50 staff | ~£200/mo | £18/mo |
Per-seat figures assume a typical ~£4/user/month all-in rate (many tools sit £3–£6/user). Indicative, for illustration.
