What quitt. does

quitt., operated by ServiceHunter AG and headquartered in Zurich, is a Swiss digital payroll and employment administration platform purpose-built for private households that employ domestic workers — cleaners, nannies, childcare providers, senior caregivers, gardeners, and handymen. Founded in 2010, the platform enables an employer to register a household worker with all relevant Swiss authorities, generate a legally compliant employment contract, set up mandatory accident insurance, and run monthly and annual payroll in approximately five minutes, replacing what would otherwise be a multi-party administrative process spanning AHV/IV/EO social security contributions, cantonal withholding tax, BVG pension fund enrollment, and accident insurance. The platform is integrated with all 26 cantonal compensation offices (SVAs), cantonal withholding tax offices, and insurance partners, and is offered in German, French, Italian, and English. It also includes a free online wage calculator and an employee-facing mobile application for time entry, expense tracking, and payslip access.

The company operates a three-tier hybrid subscription model: Start at 10 CHF/month (first month free) plus 8% commission on gross salary for short-term relationships; Comfort at 150 CHF per calendar year plus 5% commission, positioned as the bestseller for wages under ~1,450 CHF; and Flat at 990 CHF per calendar year with 0% commission for higher-wage employment. At scale, the platform processes payroll for over 20,000 domestic helpers representing more than CHF 461 million in gross wages, with 32,103+ registered employers, 56,853+ processed employment contracts, and a 4.7/5 rating across 9,826 reviews over 11-14 years. Embedded partnerships with Baloise Insurance (accident, daily sickness benefits, household insurance) and TCS Assista (employer legal protection) extend the offering into adjacent insurance products. A CHF 100 employee-referral incentive creates a bottom-of-funnel acquisition channel.

quitt. monetizes through a self-serve, direct-to-consumer go-to-market with no physical retail presence, relying on SEO-optimized content marketing, social media presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube, and customer testimonials to drive organic acquisition. Geographic expansion has been deliberate: Germany (go-quitt.de, October 2022), UK (quinn.uk), and a B2B sub-brand (quitt.Business). In 2025 the company executed two acquisitions — PAYE for Nannies (March) and Earny Switzerland (May) — signaling a roll-up strategy to consolidate adjacent domestic-worker payroll operators in Europe. The company is private, has raised approximately CHF 653K total disclosed funding (Venture Kick 2010, SICTIC and Verve Ventures 2012), and was a 2016 Swiss Economic Award finalist.

Revenue model

1. Subscription fees with commission: Three-tier subscription model: Start (10 CHF/month + 8% commission), Comfort (150 CHF/year + 5% commission), Flat (990 CHF/year + 0% commission). All tiers are per calendar year. Commission is calculated on gross salary processed.
2. Commission on gross salary: Percentage-based commission on the gross salary of registered domestic workers. Rates vary by tier: 8% (Start), 5% (Comfort), or 0% (Flat). This creates a usage-based revenue component tied to wage volumes processed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Helpling: European online marketplace connecting households with cleaning and domestic service professionals. Comparable to quitt as a digital platform that structures household-domestic worker relationships, though Helpling focuses on booking/matchmaking while quitt handles the full payroll/compliance stack.
• BookJane: Canadian platform for booking and managing care workers (home care, facilities). Comparable to quitt as a digital infrastructure layer for caregiver/domestic worker engagement, payments, and compliance in a regulated household-employment context.
• Care.com: Global marketplace connecting households with caregivers (cleaners, nannies, senior care). Comparable to quitt as a digital platform that structures household-domestic worker relationships; Care.com focuses on matching while quitt focuses on payroll/compliance — increasingly converging.

Broad incumbents

• Gusto: US SMB-focused payroll, benefits, and HR platform with subscription-plus-usage pricing. Comparable to quitt's hybrid subscription + commission pricing model and SMB/household-friendly self-serve onboarding, though targeting US employers broadly.
• Deel: Global Employer of Record and payroll platform enabling companies to hire and pay workers compliantly across countries. Comparable to quitt as an EOR/payroll platform with regulatory integration, but serves international employer clients rather than private households.
• Remote: Global EOR and payroll platform for distributed teams. Comparable to quitt's EOR-style payroll automation and multi-authority compliance integration, though focused on cross-border corporate employment rather than domestic household employment.
• ADP (Run Powered by ADP / ADP TotalSource): Largest US/global payroll and PEO provider serving SMBs and enterprises. Comparable to quitt's household payroll + benefits administration positioning; a potential large-scale competitor if it moved into the household/personal employer segment.

Emerging players

• Knomes (Smmer): Swiss consumer app for organizing household tasks and shared expenses. Partially comparable to quitt's household-employee app approach, though focused on chore coordination rather than payroll/compliance.

Regional players

• Tandemploy: Germany-based digital staffing platform focused on corporate shift/workforce matching with employee-centric features. Comparable to quitt's employee mobile app and self-serve approach to structured employment, though serving companies rather than households.

Others

• PAYROLL accounting platforms (DATEV / Abacus / Boss Info): Established Swiss/German accounting and payroll software platforms serving fiduciaries and SMEs. Adjacent to quitt as infrastructure that could be extended to household-employment payroll; represents a competitive threat via partnerships with Swiss accounting firms.
