Active employee population
The number of employees in the assessed payroll population is the primary subscription-pricing factor.
Aether Payroll pricing
Pricing built around your payroll operation.
Enterprise control. Remarkably simple payroll. Aether Payroll uses volume-based subscription pricing, with implementation and specialized integrations scoped separately. Every proposal begins with an assessment of your employee population, payroll structure, operating requirements, and rollout plan.
One platform
One powerful platform—not feature-stripped plans.
Aether brings payroll data, inputs, calculations, approvals, published payslips, statutory preparation, accounting preparation, payment preparation, and audit evidence into one governed flow. Pricing varies mainly by scale and delivery scope—not by withholding essential control or security features. Larger or more complex requirements are assessed before a proposal is prepared.
Capability availability and implementation scope are confirmed during assessment and documented in the applicable proposal and definitive agreements.
Pricing factors
What shapes your tailored proposal
Legal entities
Each entity can introduce distinct setup, governance, reporting, and operating requirements.
Pay groups, cycles, and complexity
Different schedules, rules, approval paths, and exception patterns shape the work required.
Implementation and migration
Data readiness, historical migration, validation depth, and rollout sequencing determine implementation scope.
Integrations
Attendance, accounting, payment, and other system exchanges are assessed against actual formats and workflows.
Support and operations
Operating support, onsite needs, and client-specific service requirements are agreed for the intended model.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
- How is Aether Payroll priced?
- Aether Payroll uses volume-based subscription pricing. The tailored proposal also reflects legal entities, payroll complexity, implementation, integrations, and support requirements.
- Why does pricing begin with an assessment?
- Payroll environments differ. The assessment establishes employee population, payroll structure, operating requirements, systems, and rollout plan before scope and formal pricing are proposed.
- Are there feature tiers?
- Aether does not use artificial plans that remove essential control or security features. Pricing varies mainly by scale and delivery scope, while capability availability and implementation scope are confirmed during assessment.
- What is the Founding Client Program?
- It is a limited program for qualified Philippine organizations, with preferential first-year commercial terms, close implementation collaboration, and a controlled assessment-to-rollout path. Admission is capacity-limited and subject to readiness and final commercial and contract approval.
- Is implementation included?
- Implementation support is provided within the agreed scope. Migration, additional entities, specialized integrations, onsite work, and other client-specific requirements may be scoped separately.
- Can you give us an immediate price?
- We can explain the pricing model immediately, but final pricing is provided in a tailored proposal after the assessment. This avoids quoting against assumptions that may not fit your payroll environment.
