Hourvy vs Deputy: questions
Does Hourvy have a monthly minimum like Deputy?
No. Deputy applies a $25–30 monthly minimum spend whatever your headcount. Hourvy has no minimum and no base fee: 3 workers plus you is 4 seats, so $4 a month.
Which Deputy plan is closest to Hourvy?
Deputy Lite ($5 per user per month) covers scheduling, timesheets, a time clock and payroll integrations. Hourvy has one price with no higher tiers: scheduling, a kiosk, a GPS location check, roles with their own pay rates, job costing, tip pooling and payroll exports are all included for $1 per active seat.
Do I need a credit card to try Hourvy?
No. The 30-day free trial starts without a card, and you're never charged automatically. If you want to keep using Hourvy, add a payment method before the trial ends.
Can my managers use Hourvy too?
Yes. Invite managers to handle workers, time logs, schedules, requests, payroll and payments. They can't see billing or change settings. Each manager is one seat.
Is there really no monthly base fee or minimum charge?
Zero base fees, zero minimums. You pay only for active seats: each worker, each manager and you, the owner. A team of 4 workers plus you is 5 seats, so $5 a month. No setup, admin or cancellation fees.
What counts as a seat for billing?
A seat is every active person on your account: each active worker, each manager and the owner. You're billed for the most seats you had during the month, so someone active for 1 day or all 30 costs the same flat seat price for that month. It's based on their active status, not how many shifts they logged.
What happens when my 30-day free trial ends?
Because we don't ask for a credit card to start your trial, you'll never be charged automatically. Near the end of your 30 days we'll remind you to add a payment method if you want to keep using Hourvy. If you decide it's not for you, your account simply pauses. No cancellation calls needed.
