Payroll is an add-on to a Homebase scheduling plan; the price is the same "no matter which Homebase plan you choose". The free Basic plan is limited to one location and 10 employees, so larger teams also pay for Essentials ($30 per location per month, one location assumed). The pricing page also shows "$29 per month for teams up to 5" with "Terms apply" next to the 6-months-free offer; it is not on the payroll page, so it is not modeled.
