We’re excited to roll out a major update to Go Casual that makes the app easier to use, more powerful, and more flexible than ever before.

Here’s what’s new:

⭐ Smarter Pricing Options

We’ve redesigned our pricing structure to give you more choice. You can now:

  • Start for Free — store unlimited employee data, set up payroll, and use free credits to run trial payruns.

  • Pay As You Go with Credits — no subscription required — only pay when you process payroll.

  • Upgrade to a Subscription — Go Basic, Go Pro, or Go Enterprise with feature-rich plans for teams of any size.

You can switch between Pay As You Go and subscription anytime through the billing portal — no lock-ins, no surprises.

📊 Huge Dashboard & Compliance Improvements

The dashboard has been overhauled with:

  • A cleaner layout and clearer navigation

  • Better compliance support for your payroll workflows

  • Speed and quality-of-life upgrades across the board

You’ll find it easier than ever to stay organised and get payroll done quickly.

🛠 Quality Of Life, Everywhere

From timesheet management to reporting and user experience, we’ve made improvements in:

  • Timesheet entry and views

  • Navigation and layout clarity

  • Billing transparency and plan management

  • Performance and reliability

If you haven’t logged in for a while — now’s a great time to jump back in and take a look!
