What staying as you are costs.
Most businesses using Synthro were already paying more - just in the wrong places. This is the money already leaving every month.
| What you're paying for now | Monthly cost | Synthro replaces it |
|---|---|---|
| HR consultant (avg 2 days/month) | R3,000–R6,000 | NALA AI + compliance tools |
| Leave tracking in Excel (4 hrs/month admin) | R1,600 lost time | Automated leave management |
| Manual timesheet reconciliation | R800–R2,000 lost time | Auto-approved geolocation clock-in |
| Labour lawyer (one CCMA dispute) | R15,000–R50,000 once | CCMA evidence trail built-in |
| Disciplinary paperwork redone by hand | Half a day, per case | Warnings, notices and outcomes on one file |
| Synthro Premium | vs R5,000–R12,000/month | R199.99/user/month |
“Sage HR costs R28/employee. Why is Synthro more?”
Sage HR handles leave. That is roughly all it does for SA businesses. Synthro adds performance reviews, goals, payroll sync, CCMA evidence export and an AI trained on SA labour law. The correct comparison is not Sage HR - it is what one badly documented dismissal costs you, and what you already pay a labour lawyer and an HR consultant to cover for the record you do not have.
