Roz vs Tanda

Short answer: Pick Roz if you want AI to draft and repair the roster, at a flat, published per-site price. Pick Tanda if you want rostering fused with payroll and STP filing under one per-user platform, especially at multi-site or franchise scale.

Last updated 27 September 2026 · Reviewed by the Roz team

Tanda is a large Australian workforce-management platform bundling rostering, time & attendance, payroll, and HR, priced per user. Roz is a smaller, AI-first rostering tool for single- and multi-site small businesses, priced per site with unlimited management users. If your roster is the pain point, Roz does more of that work for you; if you want rostering fused with payroll and STP filing at scale, Tanda is the fuller platform.

	Roz	Tanda
Core focus	AI-first rostering that drafts, rebuilds, and repairs the roster, then reaches staff to confirm the change.	Broad workforce-management suite bundling rostering, time & attendance, payroll, and HR modules.
AI capability	Roz rebuilds the roster after a sick call, proposes rule-compliant swaps, and flags coverage gaps and overtime risk before you publish.	Demand-based rostering and automated award-rule calculations. A case study cites "predictive rostering" for one enterprise client; it isn't listed as a self-serve feature on Tanda's own pricing or product pages.
Compliance handling	Fixed rules you set for rest hours, qualifications/certifications, and availability blackouts, checked on every roster build.	A library of Modern Award pay conditions drives automated award interpretation across pay runs — a long-standing Tanda strength.
Staff communication	Roz messages staff on WhatsApp, Telegram, and email; staff reply on WhatsApp, Telegram, or in the Roz app to request leave, swap a shift, or say they're running late.	Tanda's pricing page lists an employee mobile app for viewing rosters and clocking in; we found no WhatsApp or Telegram channel comparable to Roz's.
Pricing model	Per site + active staff, with unlimited management users on every plan. From $49/month AUD, incl. GST, published on the pricing page.	Per user, per month. The only published figure is the All-in-One bundle (HR + Payroll + Workforce Management) at $12.80 AUD + GST per user/month; rostering alone is "request pricing."
Best for	Businesses with 1 to 8 sites that want AI doing the roster building and fixing without a per-seat management bill.	Larger or multi-brand operators that want rostering fused with payroll and STP filing, backed by enterprise case studies.

Pricing, compared

Tanda's pricing page publishes only one number: the All-in-One bundle at $12.80 AUD + GST per user per month, covering HR, payroll, and workforce management together — not rostering on its own. For a 15-person single site, that bundle works out to $192 AUD + GST a month (15 × $12.80). It's not a fair like-for-like against Roz, since it buys payroll and HR as well as rostering, and Tanda doesn't publish what the rostering module costs by itself. Roz's Lite plan is a flat $49/month AUD, incl. GST, for up to 15 active staff at one site, with the price visible on the pricing page and no sales call required to see it.

When Roz is the better fit

If you're a single- or few-site business and the roster is where your time actually goes — covering sick calls, checking quals and rest hours, chasing staff for a yes — Roz is built for exactly that. It drafts and repairs the roster, checks it against your rules, and messages affected staff on WhatsApp, Telegram, or email so you're not relaying every change by hand. The price is published, starts at $49/month AUD, incl. GST, and doesn't grow just because you add a second manager — unlimited management users are included on every plan.

When Tanda is the better fit

If you're a larger or multi-brand operator that wants rostering, time & attendance, payroll, and HR running off one system — with STP filing built in rather than exported elsewhere — Tanda is the more complete platform, and its Modern Award library is a genuine strength for complex award interpretation at scale. Tanda's case studies (Craveable Brands, Domino's, the Broncos Leagues Club) point at enterprise and franchise-scale operations, which is where its bundled pricing and feature depth pay off most.

Common questions

Is Roz a Tanda alternative?

Yes, for the rostering half of the job. Roz is an AI-first rostering tool for small-to-medium businesses with published per-site pricing. Tanda is a larger workforce-management suite bundling rostering, time & attendance, payroll, and HR, priced per user. If you only need the roster built and staff messaged, Roz is the narrower, cheaper-to-start tool. If you need payroll and HR under the same roof, Tanda is the broader platform.

What does Tanda cost?

Tanda publishes one figure on its pricing page: the All-in-One bundle (HR + Payroll + Workforce Management) at $12.80 AUD plus GST per user per month. Pricing for the Workforce Management module on its own is not public — Tanda's site asks you to request a quote.

Does Tanda have AI rostering?

Tanda's own pricing and product pages describe demand-based rostering and automated award interpretation. One customer case study mentions Domino's using "predictive rostering," but that isn't listed as a self-serve feature on Tanda's product pages, so we can't confirm every Tanda customer gets it. Roz's AI roster editor — drafting, rebuilding after a sick call, and proposing rule-compliant swaps — is a core, advertised feature on every plan.

Is Roz cheaper than Tanda?

For a small single-site business, usually yes. Roz's Lite plan starts from $49/month AUD, incl. GST, flat for up to 15 staff. Tanda's only public price is its bundled $12.80 AUD + GST per user per month — for 15 staff, that's $192 AUD + GST a month (15 × $12.80) for HR, payroll, and rostering together, which isn't a like-for-like comparison since it includes more than rostering. Tanda's rostering-only price isn't published.

Does Roz do payroll like Tanda?

No. Roz focuses on rostering — building, repairing, and publishing the roster, and messaging staff about it. Tanda runs payroll and STP filing directly from its timesheets. If you want rostering and payroll in one product, Tanda is the fit; if you already run payroll elsewhere and just want a better roster, Roz is narrower and cheaper to start.

Which is better for a single café or clinic?

Roz, in most cases. Tanda's case studies and pricing structure skew toward larger, multi-site, or franchise operators with dedicated payroll needs. A single-site business usually just needs the roster built and staff told about it, which is exactly what Roz's Lite plan is priced for.

Does Tanda message staff the way Roz does?

Tanda's pricing page lists an employee mobile app for rosters and clock-in, but we found no WhatsApp or Telegram channel comparable to Roz's two-way comms.

Is my staff data safe with an AI?

Your roster data is stored in Sydney. Roz's AI runs on Claude, made by Anthropic, which doesn't train on your data. Roz suggests changes, and no roster change goes out until you approve it. Read more on our security page.
