Payfit drops exit fee promise, pushes flexible contract terms
What happened
Between the Jun 15, 2026 and Jun 22, 2026 captures of Payfit's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Second guarantee block replaced: 'You can leave at any time' (no exit fee messaging) swapped for 'Transparent contracts, no surprises' emphasising 3-month rolling or 12/24-month commit options. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jul 27, 2026) lists Payroll Core at GBP 6, Payroll & HR at GBP 7, Premium at GBP 8, Faster Payments Add-on at GBP 25 and Expense Management Add-on at GBP 1.
It lands 5 days after Payfit's previous change, "Payfit adds phone and pre-payroll call support for 25+ employee plans" (Jun 17, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Payfit overhauls UK pricing, drops Light plan, adds HR tier" (Jun 9, 2026). Payfit has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window SAP SE, Paychex, BambooHR and Gusto also changed their Workforce Management pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
