Every figure on this page is computed from the inputs you enter, by the method stated below it. The only constants HeadcountDesk supplies are the published federal payroll tax rates and the overtime multiplier, each cited where it is used. The defaults are a worked example to replace with your own.
Employee onboarding software reviews are only useful when they judge the same five things: does the paperwork get finished before day one with owners and reminders, does the new hire acknowledge the handbook and see their own file, does the equipment get recorded for the return, does the manager get reminded of the check-ins and the probation date, and what does it cost as the headcount grows. The onboarding checklist on this site scopes the hire free; HeadcountDesk Pro is priced per location rather than per employee.

Owners and reminders
The test in any demo: assign an item to someone other than yourself and see whether they are reminded. Software that lists tasks without chasing them is a document.
The employee's side
The handbook acknowledged on the phone, the file visible, the forms completed by the hire before day one. Pro does that; the documents come from the free tools on this site.
The manager's side
Week-one and month-one check-ins, the probation date, the equipment out and back, each a reminder to the manager rather than a report for the owner.
The price as you grow
From the vendors' own pricing pages: Homebase lists Essentials at $24 per location per month billed annually or $30 monthly, with a free Basic plan for one location of up to ten employees; BambooHR lists Core at $10 and Pro at $17 per employee per month; Deputy lists Core at $6.50 per user per month. HeadcountDesk Pro is $24 a month per location.
