Pricing
Transparent pricing
We publish our hourly bands, the surcharges and the cancellation terms. There are two ways to settle, because the price turns on who employs the worker: if we do, one rate covers everything; if you do, you pay only our coordination fee and handle wage and public charge directly.
Packages
Three packages, two ways to settle
The same vetting and the same guarantee in all three. The price turns on who employs the worker: us or you.

One hourly rate, one invoice, no admin at your end. We register the worker and pay the wage and the public charge.
- EFO registration and payroll on our side
- We pay the daily public charge

- We track the statutory day limits

Comparison
The two tracks side by side
Same crew, same guarantee. What differs is who employs the worker, and what that means in forints on an eight-hour day.
| Package | Fully managed, hourly | Coordination, our fee | Coordination, your total | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | 4,200 HUF – 5,200 HUF | 700 HUF – 1,100 HUF | 3,100 HUF – 3,900 HUF | -26% |
| Professional | 5,400 HUF – 7,200 HUF | 1,100 HUF – 1,600 HUF | 4,100 HUF – 5,600 HUF | -24% |
| Partner | 4,800 HUF – 6,100 HUF | 800 HUF – 1,200 HUF | 3,600 HUF – 4,700 HUF | -25% |
Eight-hour day, one person, before surcharges. The coordination total includes the wage and the daily public charge you pay.
Shift length
Why a short shift costs more per hour
Because the public charge is daily, not hourly. Four hours costs the same as eight, so per hour it doubles. We don't hide that: our bands are quoted for an eight-hour day, and a shorter shift moves them by this much.
| Shift | Charge per hour | Essential, fully managed |
|---|---|---|
| 4 hours | 1,200 HUF | 5,100 HUF – 6,100 HUF |
| 6 hours | 800 HUF | 4,500 HUF – 5,500 HUF |
| 8 hours | 600 HUF | 4,200 HUF – 5,200 HUF |
| 10 hours | 480 HUF | 4,000 HUF – 5,000 HUF |
| 12 hours | 400 HUF | 3,900 HUF – 4,900 HUF |
The daily charge is 4,800 HUF per worker in every row. Only the number of hours it spreads across changes.
What the law sets
Statutory day limits on casual work
On the coordination track you have to track these, because you are the employer. On the managed track we do.
- 5 days
- consecutive calendar days in one stretch
- 15 days
- per calendar month with the same employer
- 120 days
- per calendar year in total

Ongoing partnership
Monthly volume, better rate, priority
In peak periods the constraint isn't price, it's capacity. Committing to a volume buys priority.

|---|---|---|---|
| Flex | No monthly commitment | 0% | within 6 hours |
| Partner | A small monthly block | -7% | within 4 hours |
| Priority | A mid-size monthly block | -11% | within 3 hours |
| Dedicated | Large block + a named crew | -15% | within 2 hours |

Pricing questions
What's the difference between the two ways to settle?
Who employs the worker. On the managed track we register the worker, pay the wage and the daily EFO public charge, and issue one VAT invoice: zero admin at your end. On the coordination track you register and pay the worker while we source, vet and coordinate, so our fee is much lower. Coordination costs less overall, but you carry the employer liability, the payroll and the duty to track the statutory day limits.
How much is the EFO public charge, and who pays it?
For casual work in 2026 it is 4,800 HUF per worker per day, which is 1.5% of the minimum wage, or 600 HUF an hour on an eight-hour day. On the managed track we pay it and it sits inside the hourly rate; on the coordination track you pay it alongside the wage. The amount moves with the minimum wage each year.
Is the public charge hourly? Half of it for four hours?
No, and this is where people slip. The charge is a daily item per worker: four hours costs the same 4,800 HUF as eight. Per hour it is therefore double, not half: 1,200 HUF/hour on a four-hour shift, 600 on an eight-hour one, 400 on a twelve-hour one. That is why every band we publish is quoted for an eight-hour day, and why short shifts cost more per hour on both tracks.
Why a band rather than one fixed rate?
Because task, languages and timing move the price by a multiple. The bottom of the band is a weekday basic assignment; the top is work needing languages and on-site responsibility. The configurator shows where you land, and the exact figure comes in an itemised quote within one working day.
Are there hidden costs?
No. The quote is itemised: hourly rate, surcharges, travel and gross total on separate lines. If it isn't in the quote, we don't invoice it.
Is VAT included?
Quotes are net hourly rates and invoiced with VAT. The gross total always appears in the quote.
How much cheaper is a long-term arrangement?
It depends on the monthly volume committed. Alongside the discount, priority in peak periods is often worth more: in December or festival season, capacity is the constraint, not price.
