Namely's pricing starts at $9 per employee per month for its Namely Now plan. The higher tiers — Namely Plus, Namely Plus People, and Namely Complete — are custom-quoted based on your modules, services, and complexity, with flexible month-to-month or multi-year contract terms.
Namely costs between $9 and a custom quote per employee per month, with four plans: Namely Now at $9 per employee per month, plus Namely Plus, Namely Plus People, and Namely Complete at custom prices.
Here's a quick look at what each package covers.
Namely Now
Price: Starting at $9 per employee per month
Best For: Teams that simply want a modern HR platform
Other Features:
- Payroll, HR, and onboarding foundation
- Free data migration assistance with every implementation
- Can go live in as little as 3 weeks
- Flexible contract terms
Namely Now is the entry point, and it's the only plan with a published starting price. That makes budgeting simple. It fits smaller teams or companies that want to centralize HR and payroll without paying for extras they won't touch.
Namely Plus
Other Features:
- Quoted through a tailored diagnostic of your needs
- Configurable package built on the core platform
Namely Plus steps up from the base plan, but Namely doesn't publish a fixed rate for it. Pricing depends on your complexity, modules, and services. If your HR needs go beyond the basics, this is where the conversation usually starts.
Namely Plus People
Other Features:
- Custom pricing that scales with modules and services
- Shaped around what your people operations require
Namely Plus People uses the same quote-based model. You'll work with the Namely team to map out what your setup actually needs. It's a good fit when software alone won't cut it, but you're not ready for the full-service package.
Namely Complete
Best For: Companies that want to cover the full employee lifecycle
Other Features:
- Custom pricing — no fixed rate published
- Combines software with expert managed services
- Managed payroll and managed benefits options
Namely Complete is the everything-in-one option. It pairs the platform with hands-on help, so you can outsource heavy lifting like payroll processing and benefits admin. Larger or fast-growing companies that want a single partner usually land here.
One thing to keep in mind: the comparison table spans 14 capabilities, from basic payroll to shared liability compliance, but the exact feature split between tiers isn't spelled out. Confirm what each package includes before you commit.
There's no free trial or sandbox — Namely offers a guided tour and demo materials instead. No money-back guarantee is mentioned, but contracts stay flexible: month-to-month or up to 3 years. Every implementation also includes free data migration help, which takes real pressure off your HR admins.
