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 |
| B-BBEE scorecard tracking service | R1,500–R4,000/year | Automated B-BBEE scorecard |
| 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, B-BBEE tracking, and an AI trained on SA labour law. The correct comparison is not Sage HR - it is what you currently pay your labour lawyer, B-BBEE auditor, and HR consultant combined.
