Why Australian Businesses Switch

Deputy covers rostering and timesheets. The rest is separate.

Accounting, BAS preparation, CRM, invoicing, bank reconciliation, inventory — none of these are included in Deputy. Australian SMBs using Deputy still need an accounting tool, CRM, and compliance tool alongside it. XIntelliSync includes all of these from $97/month.

Per-user pricing scales with headcount.

Deputy Pro is AU$14.50/user/month. Add the Payroll add-on at AU$5/user and HR at AU$3.50/user — that's AU$23/user/month. For a 10-person team, Deputy alone costs AU$230/month before accounting or CRM. XIntelliSync has no per-user fees.

Deputy connects to Xero or MYOB. XIntelliSync doesn't need to.

Deputy requires integration with a separate accounting tool (Xero, MYOB, or QuickBooks) for payroll processing and financial reporting. That means two subscriptions, two logins, and data syncing between systems. XIntelliSync includes payroll preparation, accounting, and rostering in one platform.

Zero AI agents across any Deputy plan.

Deputy has no AI agent system. Roster optimisation, leave forecasting, compliance monitoring — all manual configuration. XIntelliSync includes 50–150+ AI agents that automate tasks across payroll, scheduling, accounting, CRM, and operations.

150+ agents. Rostering + accounting + payroll. One subscription.

First month 50% off ($48.50). No setup fees. No per-user pricing. Cancel anytime.
