Comparison
Soteriaa vs Annaizu
Soteriaa and Annaizu both cover sponsor compliance, but they meter price very differently, and that is the story. Annaizu charges per employee per month with a 10-employee floor, so cost climbs with headcount: about £204/month at 20 employees, £384 at 40, and £840 at 100. Soteriaa's bands don't move like that: £79 for up to 20, £149 for unlimited. Where Annaizu genuinely wins: it bundles a regulated immigration adviser who reviews your case, and adds DBS checks, onboarding, and rota that Soteriaa deliberately doesn't. Soteriaa is software, not advice. Annaizu facts verified 13 July 2026.

Short answer
The story is metering. Annaizu charges per employee per month (10-employee floor), so cost climbs with headcount: about £840/month at 100 employees. Soteriaa's bands don't move like that: £149 covers unlimited. Where Annaizu wins: a regulated immigration adviser reviews your case, plus DBS, onboarding, and rota breadth. Soteriaa is software, not advice. Cheaper as you grow, but without the advisory layer.

Plain-English query
Ask “who is missing a right-to-work check” and get a straight answer from your records. A deterministic resolver, not AI.
What Soteriaa does not do
Soteriaa is software, not advice. It gives no legal or immigration advice, makes no compliance determinations, never tells you that you are compliant, and never files to the Home Office Sponsor Management System. It does not extract or auto-fill data from documents and has no readiness score. If you want a regulated adviser attached, that is Annaizu's advantage, stated plainly.

FAQ
Soteriaa vs Annaizu questions
How per-employee metering compares with fixed bands, and where each fits.
What is the difference between Soteriaa and Annaizu?
Annaizu is a module in a broader workforce platform (with DBS checks, onboarding, and rota) that charges per employee per month and bundles a regulated immigration adviser. Soteriaa is dedicated sponsor-compliance software priced in fixed bands with no per-head metering and no cap. Annaizu adds advice and HR breadth; Soteriaa is software only, and cheaper as you grow.
Which is cheaper?
It depends on headcount, and per-employee metering punishes growth. Annaizu is about £204/month at 20 employees, £384 at 40, and £840 at 100 (per employee per month, minimum 10). Soteriaa is £79 for up to 20 and £149 for unlimited, so the gap widens sharply as you add people.
When is Annaizu the better choice?
