We're self-serve with pricing on the website, AI compliance help (Lydia), and no setup fee. eBacon's a managed-service shop with quote-based pricing, higher base cost, and longer onboarding. Both get you a WH-347; the experience getting there is different.
Yeah. We start at $49/mo with no setup fee. eBacon quotes you case-by-case, usually $200+/month, with extra fees for state forms and sub portals. Most contractors save 50-70% switching.
Yes. We break out fringes (health, pension, training, vacation) per classification, exactly how Davis-Bacon wants it. Cash fringe and plan contributions are both handled; if a plan needs annualization, you compute the hourly credit and enter it.
Yep. Export workers, projects, and payroll history from eBacon as CSV. The import maps columns from eBacon's headers and reports missing or bad rows.
Partly, on Enterprise: union locals with their fringe, pension, training and dues rates, assigned per worker. Local union reporting formats are not built.
Your first 3 reports are free, with full Pro features and no credit card. When you pick a plan, your first one starts with 14 free days; checkout asks for a card.
Email support on every plan, and a person reads every message. On Pro and Enterprise, Lydia answers Davis-Bacon questions at any hour and explains each step of a report.
Cancel anytime from your billing settings. Your data exports free in CSV/PDF format. No clawbacks, no penalty fees, no 'talk to sales' hoops.
