Batch is competitive here

At 12 staff, the lowest published cost that fits your filters is Batch at £10/mo. Batch is £10 flat and does not rise as you hire. The one thing none of them do is the 2027 employment-rights layer, which is where Batch is different.

How to read this. Batch is the only one built specifically for the Employment Rights Act 2025 rights (guaranteed hours, shift-notice and short-notice pay) expected from 2027. That is our honest edge, not price. At a very small team, a free plan or a £10 rota beats us on cost, and we say so above. Several rivals are more feature-rich for payroll and kiosks today. The 2027 rules are still being finalised, so no tool can promise exact figures yet, and incumbents may add their own compliance features later.

Pricing and free-tier details verified from each vendor's own pricing page in July 2026. Quote-only vendors (Rotaready, Bizimply, and RotaCloud above five staff) do not publish rates, so no figure is shown rather than a guessed one. Deputy and Planday are shown at their published entry per-user rate; your real cost depends on the tier and add-ons you choose.
