Worth knowing before you choose
Vuqira does not run payroll
Vuqira records, checks and approves hours, and invoices your clients for them through Xero. It does not pay staff. If you need payroll in the same product, that is a reason to look at tools built around it.
Everything is on one plan
The AI Assistant, approvals, leave, reports and Xero invoicing are all included in one per-user price, with no minimum. Rostering is an optional extra at a flat price for the whole organisation. Your first two months are free for up to 10 people.
