Prices are exclusive of VAT. Pro monthly cancellable to month-end. Credit card is securely stored at Stripe — ZeugnisPilot never sees the full card number.

Standard, not add-on

Included in every plan

What costs extra at other providers belongs to ZeugnisPilot Business as basic equipment — no hidden fees, no add-on game.

Swiss data hosting

Backend, database and verification service in the region europe-west6 (Zurich). Sub-processors transparently documented; AI requests with data minimisation and placeholders, no third-country transfer without necessity and without DPA.

CO 330a compliant by default

Every generated reference passes through the compliance check and immediately marks where to improve. You do not publish a reference that has not passed.

No secret codes

Plain-text formulations instead of ambiguous codes. Standard per Kompass — fair for employees, safe for employers.

bexio integration

OAuth integration to bexio. Employees, payroll data and employment period are read in automatically — you type less and avoid errors.

Four-eyes review

Built-in review step with a unique verification ID and QR code. Recipients can verify authenticity at zeugnispilot.ch/verify/<id>.

AI remains a tool, not a decision-maker

ZeugnisPilotAI drafts, the human is responsible. Every change is traceable in the audit trail.

Transparency

What you do not pay

  • No setup fee. Self-serve onboarding with 14 days free — no credit card, no sales call.
  • No minimum term. Cancel monthly to month-end — no lock-in.
  • No token billing. AI usage for reference generation is included in the plan — no surprises at month-end.
  • No hidden third-party costs. Bexio sync, UKG HRSD integration, webhook engine and PDF generation are included.
  • Pay-per-reference as add-on. Seasonal peaks billed at CHF 5.– per additional reference — only when you exceed your plan's inclusive contingent.
What you save

Why a platform instead of 5 tools

ZeugnisPilot consolidates what's otherwise scattered across 4-5 tools: Excel employee list, Word reference templates, file sharing for documents, separate workflow tool, manual bexio maintenance. One platform, one login, one invoice.

  • An HR position in Switzerland costs ~CHF 110,000/year fully loaded. Platform consolidation typically saves 20-30% of HR routine time — that's CHF 22,000-33,000/year for a 100-employee company. Growth costs CHF 2,988/year.
  • A single correction dispute under Art. 330a CO — even if it does not reach court — costs the internal equivalent of about a year of Business licence. ZeugnisPilot's compliance check makes these constellations visible before publication.
  • Bexio sync productive means: no double entry of employee data between payroll and HR. For 100 employees and 4 updates/year alone that saves ~50 hours per year.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions about price and plan

What does ZeugnisPilot cost for private individuals?
For private individuals ZeugnisPilot is free: you can upload your own work references, request verifications and manage them in the private area — without payment method, without limit, without minimum term. The prices on this page apply exclusively to company accounts that issue references themselves.
What happens after the 14-day trial?
During the trial you see all platform features — no credit card needed. At the end you choose your plan, or the account pauses automatically (data retained for 90 days in case you decide later). No auto-charge without your confirmation.
Which plan fits my company size?
Starter (CHF 99/mt., up to 25 employees) is enough for SMEs with occasional HR activity. Growth (CHF 249/mt., 25-100) is for growing firms with lifecycle workflows. Business (CHF 599/mt., 100-500) for mid-size companies with multi-approver and custom workflows. For 500+ employees or specific compliance requirements → Enterprise.
What about the pay-per-reference model from before?
Pay-per-reference remains as an add-on for ALL platform plans — ideal for seasonal peaks beyond the inclusive contingent (Starter 10/mt., Growth 30/mt., Business unlimited). Pure pay-per-reference usage without a platform plan is being phased out; existing customers keep their conditions (grandfathering).
Who can deposit the card, and does it apply to all employees?
The credit card is deposited at company level — all invited employees (members) of your company use it automatically. Only company admins can add, replace or remove the card. The card is securely stored at Stripe (PCI-DSS Level 1); ZeugnisPilot never sees the full card number.
Am I bound to a plan?
No. Starter, Growth and Business are monthly cancellable to month-end. There is no minimum term and no setup fee. Plan switching (up- or downgrade) is possible at any time with one click; the change applies from the next billing month.
Is the price in CHF incl. VAT?
The prices shown are exclusive of statutory VAT. B2B customers with a valid UID number receive a compliant invoice in Swiss format.
How does Enterprise pricing work?
Enterprise is offered individually based on number of users, integration scope (SSO, API, custom templates) and SLA requirements. Write to us briefly what you need — we come back with a concrete proposal.
Is the use DPA and GDPR compliant?
Yes. ZeugnisPilot is hosted in the Zurich region, Anthropic processes texts as a sub-processor in the EU. We conclude a data processing agreement (DPA) with Pro and Enterprise customers. Details: data protection page.
What if the compliance check delivers a finding but I deliberately want to keep it?
You can accept, reject or override every finding individually with reasoning. The four-eyes review records this decision in the audit trail.
