SEA SaaS Tracker: Multiplier, Employment Hero, and Peddlr Updates

Multiplier

• Pricing: Base EOR (Employer of Record) tier listed at $400/employee/month as of Jun 29, 2026, up from the $300/employee/month figure recorded in this database on 2026-05-06.
• Volume terms: teams of 15+ employees on annual billing can negotiate the effective rate back down to $300-$350/employee/month.
• Contractor management fee confirmed at a flat $40/contractor/month (checked Jun 29, 2026), unchanged.
• Apr 30, 2026: launched Global Payroll Payments, powered by fintech Navro, adding a payments layer on top of existing EOR, payroll, and compliance modules ("Global Exchange for Work" positioning). This falls just outside the 60-day window but is the most recent confirmed feature release found.
• Apr 28, 2026: named a Leader in EOR in The IEC Group's EOR Study 2026; separately cited in market coverage as ranked #1 global EOR provider in 2026 against 130+ platforms.
• Feb 24, 2026: launched "Multiplier Locals" community and a Partner Perks discount marketplace for customers.
• No Shopee, TikTok Shop, VietQR, PromptPay, or GCash integrations found - not applicable to Multiplier's EOR/payroll product category.

Employment Hero

• Pricing: Standard plan confirmed at $8/employee/month (matches the $8/month baseline recorded 2026-05-18), unlocking full HR and payroll functionality. Premium tier adds $3/employee/month (effectively $11/employee/month) for unlimited public courses and custom workflows. Free "Hiring Essential" plan remains available with limited features. No pricing change identified in the May 6-Jul 6, 2026 window.
• Mar 30, 2026: launched Recruitment Agent powered by "Hero AI" for Canadian SMB customers - automates first-round screening interviews via structured AI-led video conversation, cutting screening time by 75% and up to 10 days off time-to-hire.
• Same release included "Ask Hero AI," a platform-wide assistant giving employers instant access to policy guidance and HR support inside the product.
• Apr 2026: debuted HeroForce, running three AI agents - a recruitment/candidate-matching tool, a payroll tool that interprets modern-award rules and automates payroll calculations, and an HR guidance bot covering hiring through termination.
• Both AI releases fall 6-13 weeks before this check (outside the strict 30-60 day window) - no newer AI or pricing announcement found dated after Apr 2026.
• No Shopee, TikTok Shop, VietQR, PromptPay, or GCash integrations found in the tracking window; existing SEA payroll-compliance coverage (Malaysia EPF/SOCSO/PCB, Singapore CPF/IR8A, Vietnam PIT/SHUI) is unchanged from the 2026-05-18 baseline.

Peddlr

• May 27, 2026: app store listing updated with the launch of Peddlr Lite, a lighter version of the app focused on selling digital products (prepaid load, bills payment, game pins) and collecting customer payments via QRPH, the Philippines' national QR payment standard.
• QRPH acceptance runs through Peddlr's existing Kankolek digital-wallet/QR payment feature - this is the SEA-local payment-rail integration for this entry (QRPH is the Philippine equivalent of VietQR/PromptPay).
• "MalaCash" feature confirmed live in the current app build, giving bonus rewards on e-load top-ups and e-load sales; no specific launch date could be verified from primary sources.
• Pricing unchanged: POS, inventory, and bookkeeping remain free ($0/month), monetized instead through e-load, bills payment, B2B restocking, and payment-processing fees, consistent with the 2026-06-15 baseline.
• No new enterprise tier or additional local marketplace/logistics integrations (Shopee, TikTok Shop) found in the May 6-Jul 6, 2026 window.
