First year = 12 monthly payments + setup + required hardware.
Understand what the numbers mean.
Where did the initial $5 per employee come from?
It is an illustrative input, not a researched competitor price. Replace it with the current quote you are evaluating.
Does the difference prove that Gates is the better value?
No. The calculator compares arithmetic totals. Features, support, release maturity, implementation work and payroll fit must be evaluated separately.
Is Gates charging the displayed plan rate today?
No. The current early-access pilot is free. The tool labels Starter $15/month and Team $35/month as proposed launch pricing.
What happens with a team over 30?
The calculator does not select a Gates plan for more than 30 employees because that is outside the current product’s focus. Do not extrapolate a rate for a larger organization.
Keep the tools.
Lose the unnecessary overhead.
