Deputy doubles promo to 6 months free on WFM and Payroll bundles until Nov 30
What happened
Between the Oct 12, 2026 and Oct 19, 2026 captures of Deputy's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Promo banner offer increased from 3 months free to 6 months free when adding WFM and Payroll before Nov 30. Pulse files it as a pricing change (discount change) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Lite at $5, Core at $6.5, Pro at $9, Deputy Payroll enabled by Paycor at $8 and HR at $2.
It lands 28 days after Deputy's previous change, "Deputy adds AI to every plan, revamps compare-plans with new Reporting & Anal" (Sep 21, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Deputy offers 3 free months on WFM + Payroll before Nov 30" (Sep 14, 2026). Deputy has been tracked since 2023-12-07.
In the same window Paychex and 7shifts also changed their Workforce Management pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
