Eddy
All-in-one HR and payroll software for small and midsize businesses.
From $4/user/mo + $50/mo base
Bottom line
Eddy is all-in-one HR and payroll software for small and midsize businesses. Starter is $4 per person per month plus a $50/mo base; Premium is quoted.
Stands out for: HRIS, payroll, ATS, onboarding, and HR compliance sit in one SMB bundle, closer to Gusto than to a modular HR Cloud deal.
Watch out for: Payroll is an add-on at $6 per person plus a $50/mo base, and Hiring is $199/mo. US payroll plus tax filing is the conversation, not global EOR.
Overview
Eddy (eddy.com) is an all-in-one HR and payroll platform for US small and midsize businesses. The stack covers payroll, HRIS, onboarding, ATS, and HR compliance in one login, so a 40-person company is not paying Gusto, an ATS, and a handbook tool separately.
Starter is $4 per person per month plus a $50/mo base, and Growth is $8 per person plus a $75/mo base. Premium, which adds Eddy Payroll and Hiring, is quoted. Billing is month to month on active employees. Gusto lists from $49/mo. BambooHR lists from $250/mo. Rippling, Paychex, and ADP Run are quoted. Eddy competes in that US SMB payroll-plus-HR set.
