Pricing and feature parity check on 2026-05-13. Vendors update plans frequently — see Tanda's site for the current list.
Yes — natively. Approved timesheets, leave balances and allowances flow into HelloBooks Payroll for STP Phase 2 lodgement directly with the ATO. No CSV step.
Not yet. Tanda's award engine is one of the deepest in the AU market, particularly for retail and aged care. HelloTime + HelloBooks Payroll covers common loadings, penalty rates and ordinary-hours splits; very complex industry-specific clauses are still on Tanda's side today.
Tanda does not publish per-seat pricing, so a like-for-like comparison is hard. HelloTime starts at AU$3.50 / user / mo (annual), and we replace your separate payroll subscription with HelloBooks Payroll — most teams see lower total cost-of-ownership.
Tanda itself does not lodge STP. It exports interpreted hours into a connected payroll product (Xero, MYOB, KeyPay, Employment Hero Payroll), which lodges with the ATO.
Yes — staff, locations and historical timesheets via CSV. Award rules need to be re-built inside HelloBooks Payroll; we will scope this with you before signing.
Not today. HelloTime supports GPS, web, mobile and tablet kiosk modes, but not Tanda-style fingerprint clocks.
