Frequently asked questions

How much does Deputy cost for 50 employees?

Every Deputy plan has geofencing, so the cheapest is Lite. With annual billing, it lists $5 per user per month: $3,000 per year for 50 users. With monthly billing, it lists $5.50 per user per month: $3,300 per year. Deputy counts administrators and supervisors as users, so include them in the count. StampShift Growth costs $588 per year for up to 75 users, admins included.

Does Deputy charge for managers and admins?

Yes. Its pricing page says: "All users/administrators/supervisors are considered users and will be counted in your total user number." StampShift counts admins toward the plan limit too, but its price does not change with each user.

Can I lower my user count on a Deputy annual plan?

No. Its pricing page says that on an annual plan "you cannot change the plan you are on or lower the number of employees in your account. You can cancel your plan before your 12 months expires, however, there are no refunds in this instance." On a monthly plan, Deputy says "you can change your plan at any time without penalty", with a minimum spend of $30 per month.

Does StampShift charge per user?

No. Each plan has one monthly price that covers every user up to the plan limit. For example, Starter costs $25 per month for up to 30 users.

Can I cancel StampShift at any time?

Yes. You can choose monthly or annual billing. When you cancel, your plan stays active until the end of the billing period you paid for.

Pricing as of October 4, 2026

Deputy prices are the annual-billing rates on its public pricing page, before add-ons and taxes.
