Pricing

The price is the price

€3 per active user / month
20-seat minimum

Three billing shapes, all published, all fixed. Pick whichever fits how you buy — the product is identical in each and only the invoice changes. We do not discount per-seat pricing, because a price that moves when you push is a price nobody in your organisation can plan against.

Per site

from EUR 80

per site / month

One line per building. No per-head arithmetic.

Up to 25 people on site EUR 80 / site / month
Up to 75 people on site EUR 150 / site / month
Up to 150 people on site EUR 250 / site / month
  • Everything in Per active user, billed by building instead of by person

Best for: Schools and single-building employers who would rather not count heads every month.

Flat annual

from EUR 1,200

per year

One invoice, one budget line, once a year.

Up to 25 staff EUR 1,200 / year
Up to 100 staff EUR 3,000 / year
Up to 300 staff EUR 7,500 / year
  • Everything in Per active user, invoiced once for the year

Best for: Buyers whose procurement prefers an annual line item to a subscription.

All prices net, plus VAT (zzgl. USt.). An active user is someone whose phone produced at least one attendance session that month. Staff on long leave are not billed.

One condition: You run your existing manual sign-in sheet alongside it for the first two weeks.

That two-week overlap is what turns our accuracy claim into your accuracy number. You get proof before you commit; we get a figure we can quote honestly to the next customer.

Add-ons

Service Price What it is
Onboarding and site enrolment EUR 500 one-off One site. We register your networks, enrol the access point addresses, set the merge threshold, and walk your first group through installation.
Multi-site onboarding EUR 1,500 one-off Up to five sites, plus a rollout plan you can hand to whoever runs the other buildings.
Works agreement template Free The Betriebsvereinbarung template we use, covering the section 87 BetrVG co-determination points. Yours whether or not you buy anything.
Works council consultation EUR 900 per session We attend the works council meeting and answer the technical questions directly, rather than leaving HR to relay them.
Network-side integration Not yet available UniFi, RADIUS, and controller webhooks: ground truth from the network itself, with no battery cost. On the roadmap, not shipping, and not sold today.

What you are actually buying

Android only, today. iOS gives apps no way to observe WiFi in the background — there is no API, so this is not a matter of us getting to it. Our iOS path uses geofencing plus Bluetooth beacons, which needs hardware in your building and will not match Android's precision. If your workforce is majority iPhone, do not buy this yet.

Accuracy, stated before you ask

On personal Android phones with no device management we measure presence to the minute while the app is running normally, and we mark the record uncertain when it is not. Some manufacturers shut down background apps aggressively; we detect that rather than guessing, flag the affected day, and prompt the employee to confirm. The admin dashboard shows which phones are reliable and which are not.

We will never tell you this is tamper-proof, guaranteed, or one hundred per cent accurate.

Works councils

Anwesend is a technical device capable of monitoring employee behaviour, so section 87 BetrVG co-determination applies wherever there is a Betriebsrat: you need an agreement before it runs. We treat that as part of the deployment rather than something to route around, and the template is free whether or not you buy.

Several design choices exist specifically to make that agreement reachable — no GPS, no activity metrics, registered networks only, and every employee sees their own record.

What we will not sell you at any price

Turning these down is what keeps the product defensible to the next customer, and to yours.

A silent or hidden mode It would turn a legitimate business tool into stalkerware. Employees always know it is running.
Productivity or activity metrics Presence only. Not what anyone did, typed, or opened. The boundary is the product.
Attendance as a payroll input A different accuracy requirement and a different liability. Anwesend is a reference, not a working-time record.
Tracking outside registered networks We observe your enrolled access points and nothing else. Never home WiFi, never location between sites.

Questions people ask before they buy

Won't employees hate this?

They often hate badge systems, because those are one-directional: the company sees the record and the employee does not. Every employee here gets their own portal, their own record, and a correction request they can file on any day. In our pilot, the amendment feature was the thing that made it acceptable. Ask us to show you the employee view before the admin view.

Is this even legal in Germany?

It is a technical device capable of monitoring employee behaviour, so section 87 BetrVG co-determination applies wherever there is a works council — you need an agreement. That is not an obstacle we work around; we help you draft it, and the template is free whether or not you buy.

What if someone spoofs the WiFi?

We match on the hardware address of your specific access points, not just the network name, and cross-check against a geofence — so a match from 40km away gets flagged. Someone determined enough to clone an access point's MAC address while standing outside your building can beat it. That is a far higher bar than any honour-system method, and the same bar as a badge handed to a colleague.

How is this different from the others?

Most of this category sells to the employer and treats the employee as the subject. We treat them as a user: they get the same record you do, and a way to dispute it. Disputed records that surface early are far cheaper than disputed records that surface in a termination meeting.

We need this on iPhone too.

Not yet, and we would rather say so here than at the end of a demo. iOS gives apps no way to monitor WiFi in the background — Apple provides no API for it. Our iOS version is being built on geofencing plus Bluetooth beacons, which needs hardware in your building and will not match Android's precision. If your workforce is majority iPhone, we are the wrong choice today.
