HelloTime vs MYOB Team: an honest comparison

Last updated:

TL;DR

  • MYOB Team is the rostering and timesheet companion app bundled with MYOB Business — it pushes approved time straight into MYOB Payroll for STP Phase 2 lodgement, so it is a strong fit if MYOB is already your accounting and payroll system of record.
  • HelloTime is the equivalent for HelloBooks customers — approved time, leave and allowances flow into HelloBooks Payroll for STP Phase 2 lodgement, with the same one-vendor stack benefit.
  • Pick the one that matches your books: HelloTime if you use (or plan to use) HelloBooks; MYOB Team if you are committed to MYOB Business and MYOB Payroll.

When to choose HelloTime

  • Your books are on HelloBooks, or you are open to switching to a single AU vendor for time, books and payroll.
  • You want geofencing, photo-at-clock-in or kiosk PIN clock-in modes that MYOB Team does not offer today.
  • You want a vendor-neutral time tool you can keep even if you change accounting platforms later.

When to choose MYOB Team

  • You are already on MYOB Business + MYOB Payroll and do not want to migrate accounting.
  • You only need light rostering and timesheets and want zero additional per-seat cost on top of the MYOB plan you are already paying for.
  • Your accountant or bookkeeper standardises clients on the MYOB stack.

HelloTime vs MYOB Team: FAQ

Does MYOB Team work without MYOB Business?

No. MYOB Team is bundled with eligible MYOB Business plans and depends on MYOB Payroll for the actual pay run and STP Phase 2 lodgement. It is not sold as a standalone product.

Does HelloTime sync with HelloBooks payroll?

Yes — natively. Approved timesheets, leave balances and allowances flow into HelloBooks Payroll for STP Phase 2 lodgement with the ATO, no CSV step.

Is HelloTime cheaper than MYOB Team?

On a per-seat line item, MYOB Team has no extra charge above the MYOB Business plan you already pay for, so it is technically free. HelloTime starts at AU$3.50 / user / mo (annual). The right comparison is at the stack level: HelloTime + HelloBooks vs MYOB Team + MYOB Business + MYOB Payroll.

Does MYOB Team support geofencing or photo clock-in?

MYOB Team supports GPS-tagged mobile clock-in but does not enforce geofences or capture photos at clock-in today. HelloTime supports both.

Can MYOB Team handle complex AU awards?

MYOB Team itself does not interpret awards — interpretation happens inside MYOB Payroll, which uses pay categories and award templates. For deeply complex awards (aged care, retail-mix), KeyPay or Tanda still have a deeper library.

Can I migrate from MYOB Team to HelloTime?

Yes — staff records, leave balances and historical timesheets via CSV. If you also move accounting, we coordinate the HelloBooks migration in the same window.

Which is better for a 20-person AU services business?

If you are already happy on MYOB Business, MYOB Team is the path of least resistance. If you are HelloBooks-curious or want stronger clock-in controls (geofence, photo, kiosk PIN), HelloTime is the better fit.
