Employment Hero reveals pricing for 7 hidden add-ons in new card grid
What happened
Between the Aug 31, 2026 and Sep 7, 2026 captures of Employment Hero's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Add-ons widget changed from a single-select tab list (only the active 'Chat' tab showed a price) to a card grid where all 7 other add-ons now display per-employee/month pricing simultaneously. Pulse files it as a pricing change (price revealed) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 12, 2026) lists HR Essentials at $10, Payroll at $10, HR Engage at $14, Recruitment Pro 50 at $199 and Recruitment Pro 100 at $359.
It lands 20 days after Employment Hero's previous change, "Employment Hero unbundles AI recruitment: now an add-on in every tier" (Aug 17, 2026). Employment Hero has been tracked since 2025-12-22.
In the same window BambooHR and Paychex also changed their Workforce Management pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
