Why switch
Why service businesses are switching from Deputy to OneBookPlus
Rostering plus everything else
Deputy only handles scheduling — you still need separate tools for invoicing, bookings, CRM, and accounting. OneBookPlus includes rostering alongside your entire business toolkit in one platform, so you can stop juggling multiple subscriptions.
Built-in invoicing & accounting
Deputy has zero invoicing or accounting features. Most businesses using Deputy also pay for Xero, MYOB, or similar tools. OneBookPlus includes GST-compliant invoicing, P&L reports, expense tracking, and ATO-ready BAS summaries — no extra software needed.
Online bookings & CRM included
Deputy doesn't offer a booking page or client management. OneBookPlus includes an online booking page where customers can book services, plus full CRM to track client history, preferences, and communications — features you'd otherwise need separate tools for.
One flat price, not per-user
Deputy charges per user per month — costs balloon as your team grows. A 10-person team pays $60–$110/month for rostering alone. OneBookPlus starts free and includes everything, so adding team members doesn't send your software bill through the roof.
FAQ
OneBookPlus vs Deputy — your questions answered
Is OneBookPlus a good alternative to Deputy for Australian service businesses?
Yes. OneBookPlus includes staff rostering and scheduling — the core features businesses use Deputy for. But OneBookPlus also includes invoicing, CRM, online bookings, accounting, marketing, and more. If you're a service business that needs scheduling plus the tools to actually run your business, OneBookPlus replaces Deputy and several other apps in one platform.
Does OneBookPlus have the same rostering features as Deputy?
OneBookPlus covers shift scheduling, time & attendance tracking, timesheet approval, award interpretation, and employee availability management. Deputy is a specialist rostering tool with deeper workforce management features like demand forecasting. But for most service businesses, OneBookPlus provides everything you need for rostering plus invoicing, bookings, CRM, and accounting that Deputy doesn't offer.
How much can I save by switching from Deputy to OneBookPlus?
Deputy charges $6/user/month for scheduling alone, or $11/user/month for their Premium plan. For a team of 10, that's $60–$110/month just for rostering — and you still need separate tools for invoicing, bookings, CRM, and accounting. OneBookPlus starts free and includes everything, potentially saving you hundreds per month across your entire software stack.
Can OneBookPlus handle accounting as well as rostering?
Absolutely — and this is a major advantage over Deputy. OneBookPlus includes full accounting with profit and loss reports, expense tracking, GST calculation, and ATO-ready BAS summaries. With Deputy, you need to pay for separate invoicing software, accounting software, and a booking platform. OneBookPlus gives you everything in one place.
What does OneBookPlus offer that Deputy doesn't?
OneBookPlus includes several features Deputy lacks: GST-compliant invoicing, online booking pages, CRM and client management, email marketing campaigns, quoting, full accounting with P&L reports, BAS/ATO tax summaries, expense tracking, Google review requests, and job management. Deputy focuses solely on rostering and scheduling — OneBookPlus is a complete business platform.
