Pixid VMS vs SimpleVMS

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

Pixid VMS

Sales-quoted

VMS for companies running temporary staffing across several sites and agencies, with a lighter Core tier and a fuller Pro tier. VectorVMS customers now land here, since VectorVMS became Pixid VMS Pro.

Where Pixid VMS fits

  • Multi site temp staffing programs
  • Mid market companies
  • Agencies wanting a direct client link

SimpleVMS

$0 for clients Free tier

Low risk VMS for hourly contingent programs because the client pays nothing and can pilot first. It fits multi agency programs built around timekeeping and invoicing better than complex global SOW programs.

Where SimpleVMS fits

  • Hourly multi agency programs
  • Warehouse and light industrial
  • Buyers avoiding software spend

Where they pull apart

Pixid VMS

Stands out: A lighter Core tier for a few agencies and a Pro tier for programs that span many sites, with a direct client connection for agencies and MSPs.

Watch out: The VectorVMS brand is gone, and Pixid publishes no pricing, API details or AI features for its VMS.

Not the right fit for

  • SOW heavy programs
  • Teams needing AI in the VMS
  • Buyers wanting list prices

SimpleVMS

Stands out: Clients pay nothing because vendors fund it, and time clock hardware is included at no added cost.

Watch out: Staffing vendors fund the platform, so the cost lands on agencies and can show up in their rates. Vendor fees are not published.

Not the right fit for

  • Complex SOW programs
  • Global multi country rollouts
  • Teams wanting AI matching
