Cheaper at this headcount: Breathe at £24 a month on its Micro plan.
On its cheapest published plan, Onfolk costs £80 a month for 10 employees, which is £8.00 per employee per month.
What the vendor publishes
| Plan | Base / month | Per employee / month | Eligibility as published | What the vendor states |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | £0 | £8 | No headcount condition published | "£8 / user / month". "No setup fee." "We'll risk-free migrate your data." |
The vendor states there is no setup fee.
What that works out at per employee
Vendors quote a per-employee fee and a base fee separately. What you actually pay per employee is both of them divided by your headcount, so the smaller your team, the further the real figure sits above the advertised one. This table is Onfolk's published prices put through that division.
| Plan | 1 | 5 | 10 | 25 | 50 | 100 | 250 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | £8.00 | £8.00 | £8.00 | £8.00 | £8.00 | £8.00 | £8.00 |
Columns are employee counts. Scroll sideways on a phone.
No other adjustment is applied. We do not add estimated tax-filing fees, discounts, or promotional pricing. The full method is at Method.
Where the base fee stops mattering
Against Breathe — the cheapest published alternative at 10 employees — the ordering turns over at 4 employees: below that Onfolk has the lower monthly total, from there Breathe does. That is arithmetic on two published prices, not a recommendation; the comparison shows both at every headcount.
Who this suits, and who it does not
- If price is the only thing you are deciding on, Breathe is cheaper at 10 employees (£24 against £80) — see its figures.
- If you are not ready to decide, wait. Published prices change without notice and the figures here are only as current as 2026-09-07. Confirm on the vendor's own page before you sign.
Where each figure comes from
Every figure above is either a number Onfolk publishes or a gap it leaves. Field by field: what we hold, which of the vendor's own pages it was read from, the day it was read, and the vendor's wording where we have it. Nothing in this table comes from a third party, and no blank is filled with an estimate.
