Total cost = SaaS cost + (Setup time × Hourly rate) / 12 + Monthly maintenance × Hourly rate
Concrete example: an 8-person team billing $50/h that collectively loses 2h/month fixing manual scheduling errors is losing $100/month in hidden time. Deputy Lite at $5/month/user ($40/month for 8 people) easily pays for itself through auto-scheduling — but a 2-person team will still pay the $30/month minimum, not $10.
Deputy's billing traps
The $30/month minimum invoice equals 6 seats on Lite
Even with just 1 or 2 active users, the $30/month minimum per invoice (in effect since September 2025) works out to paying as if for 6 users on the Lite plan ($5/user).
Advanced features are add-ons that push the real cost to ~$22/user
Analytics, advanced messaging, and SSO aren't included in Lite or Core — these separate add-ons can push the real per-user cost up to $22/month.
