Pento does not publish its prices. Its pricing page asks you to contact sales, so no per-employee figure can be calculated from public information.
Everything below is what the vendor does state publicly, with the parts it does not state marked as such.
What the vendor publishes
| Plan | Base / month | Per employee / month | Eligibility as published | What the vendor states |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | — | — | Up to 30 employees | Price not published by the vendor. "Price on request" for "companies with up to 30 employees in the UK". One-time setup fee mentioned but amount not specified. "No hidden fees or last-minute charges." |
| Enterprise | — | — | From 500 employees | Price not published by the vendor. "Based on volume and customisations" for "Enterprises with 500+ employees in the UK". |
Monthly base fee: not stated in the vendor's published documentation (checked 2026-09-07).
Per-employee fee: not stated in the vendor's published documentation (checked 2026-09-07).
Setup fee: not stated in the vendor's published documentation (checked 2026-09-07).
Where each figure comes from
Every figure above is either a number Pento 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.
