Helpore vs quitt: a flat fee, and someone to employ

quitt does the payroll administration for a household that already employs someone. Helpore does that too, and also finds you the person, and never takes a share of the wage. If you are comparing the two, the difference comes down to what the fee is charged on and whether you still have to find a Helper yourself.

What quitt is

quitt is a Swiss payroll and administration service for private employers. It registers the household with the compensation office, produces payslips and handles social insurance for a person the household has already found. It does not match or find household help. Its published prices are three tiers: Start at CHF 10 a month after a free first month with a 8 percent commission on the gross wage, Comfort at CHF 150 a year with a 5 percent commission, and Flat at CHF 990 a year with no commission, with quitt itself recommending Flat above a monthly wage of CHF 1'400.

Where households feel the difference

A percentage of your Helper's wage

With quitt
On the Start and Comfort tiers, quitt charges 8 or 5 percent of the gross wage on top of the base price.
What it means for you
The more you pay your Helper, the more you pay quitt. A raise for your Helper raises your administration bill too.
With Helpore
Helpore never charges a percentage of the wage. Helpore Admin is CHF 23.90 a month or CHF 238.80 a year, Admin Light CHF 15.90 or CHF 154.80, whatever the wage. A raise costs you the raise.

Finding the person

With quitt
quitt administers a person you already have. Finding one is your job.
What it means for you
The hardest part of employing household help, finding someone reliable and verified, happens before quitt starts.
With Helpore
Helpore has Helper profiles to choose from. Before a Helper can be booked through Helpore, Helpore has reviewed their identity document and, where their status requires one, their work permit; as the employer you still see the permit yourself before the first day. Or bring the person you already have, invite them, and Helpore Admin runs the payroll for that relationship. For a Helper you bring yourself, Helpore checks no identity and no permit: you confirm as the employer that you have seen a valid permit, and Helpore records your confirmation and prepares the paperwork.

Three tiers to get right

With quitt
Start, Comfort or Flat, with a wage breakpoint of CHF 1'400 a month to judge against.
What it means for you
Choose wrong and you pay a commission you did not need to, or a yearly price for hours that never came.
With Helpore
One price for Admin, one for Light, both monthly or yearly, and Flex for hours with no subscription at all. Nothing to guess.

When the hours are small or irregular

With quitt
quitt is a subscription with a commission. There is no pay per hour path.
What it means for you
A few hours now and then still carries a monthly base and a share of every franc.
With Helpore
Flex is pay per booked hour with a flat Helpore fee of CHF 3.50, contract and insurance included, nothing to subscribe to. Move to Admin Light or Admin only when it becomes regular.

Helpore's prices, all of them

  • Flex: pay per booked hour, a flat Helpore fee of CHF 3.50 on top of the wage, contract, insurance and payslip included, nothing to subscribe to.
  • Helpore Admin Light: CHF 15.90 a month or CHF 154.80 a year for one regular Helper you administer with Helpore's documents and calculations.
  • Helpore Admin: CHF 23.90 a month or CHF 238.80 a year; you stay the employer, and Helpore runs the registration, payslips, source tax and insurance in your name, and prepares a contract if you want one.
  • A one time placement fee of CHF 29.00 when a Helper you found on Helpore becomes your regular employee, credited against Flex fees you already paid.
  • Helpers set their own rate, never below CHF 24.55 an hour, and never below the statutory minimum where the work is done. The wage is theirs in full.

Common questions

I already have a cleaner. Can Helpore just run the payroll?
Yes. Invite them from your Helpore account, and Helpore Admin runs the administration of the employment in your name: contract, registration, payslips, source tax, insurance. The one time placement fee does not apply to a person you bring yourself. For a Helper you bring yourself, Helpore checks no identity and no permit: you confirm as the employer that you have seen a valid permit, and Helpore records your confirmation and prepares the paperwork.
Does Helpore take a share of the wage?
Never. Wages pass through in full. Helpore earns a flat fee or a subscription, and the amount is the same whether your Helper earns the legal minimum or twice that.
Is there an option with no subscription at all?
Yes, Flex. You pay per booked hour with a flat Helpore fee, and the contract, the insurance and the payslip are included in that hour.
