Staffology is IRIS's modern, API-first cloud payroll platform, designed for accountants, bureaus, and businesses that want to embed or automate payroll. It is HMRC-recognised, files RTI, handles pension auto-enrolment and CIS, and bundles a basic HR module. Pricing is a flat monthly fee covering up to nineteen payslips, then a small per-payslip charge above that, billed per run, with bespoke quotes over fifty employees. Its strong API makes it a favourite for embedded and white-label payroll.

The same questions UK merchants ask before signing up.
Staffology starts from £43/mo (up to 19), with additional payslips charged at £2.15/payslip. This per-payslip pricing model, rather than a flat per-employee monthly rate, is worth checking carefully against your actual pay frequency, since a weekly-paid workforce generates more payslips per month than a monthly-paid one.
Yes. Staffology, owned by IRIS, is on HMRC's recognised payroll software list, submits RTI Full Payment Submissions, and handles workplace pension auto-enrolment with NEST and other major pension providers. Statutory pay and P60/P45 issuance are included as standard, and CIS support is available for construction subcontractors.
Staffology is positioned for accountants, payroll bureaus, and scaling SMBs that need an API-first platform to build on or white-label, rather than a simple standalone payroll app. Its target market of accountants and bureaus sets it apart from consumer-facing platforms such as BrightPay or QuickBooks in this comparison.
Yes. Staffology integrates with Xero, Sage, and QuickBooks Online via its API, suiting its positioning as a platform for accountants and bureaus managing payroll across multiple client accounting systems rather than being tied to a single accounting product.
Staffology includes Autopilot, a native AI and add-on toolkit for automating routine payroll tasks, with support provided by parent company IRIS through UK-based channels. Its review volume on Capterra is very thin, so treat its rating as directional rather than statistically robust compared with more heavily reviewed providers in this comparison.
Yes to both. Staffology handles Construction Industry Scheme deductions and reporting for subcontractors, and calculates statutory sick pay, maternity and paternity pay, and other statutory leave entitlements automatically within each pay run, alongside P60 and P45 issuance as standard.
