Every hr tool we track, cheapest first

  1. Zoho People

    HR management from Zoho.

    This is aggressive low-cost positioning — Zoho is undercutting BambooHR, Rippling, and Gusto by a wide margin, betting that price-sensitive SMBs and Zoho-ecosystem users will trade some polish for a fraction of the cost.

    Plans: FREE $0/mo per seat · ESSENTIAL HR $1/mo per seat · PROFESSIONAL $2/mo per seat · PREMIUM $3/mo per seat · ENTERPRISE $4/mo per seat

    From $1/mo Free plan Free trial Zoho People pricing → Alternatives →
  2. Sling

    Free employee scheduling.

    This is budget-tier pricing in the workforce management space — competitors like When I Work or Deputy often start higher per seat. Sling's clearly going after cost-sensitive SMBs and shift-based businesses (retail, hospitality, healthcare) where paying $4/head across 50+ hourly workers actually matters to the bottom line.

    Plans: Free $0/mo per seat · Premium $2/mo per seat · Business $4/mo per seat

    From $2/mo Free plan Free trial Sling pricing → Alternatives →
  3. When I Work

    Employee scheduling made easy.

    At $2.50-$5.00 per seat, When I Work sits solidly in the budget-to-mid range of workforce scheduling tools, undercutting heavier platforms like Deputy or When I Work's own enterprise competitors. They're clearly chasing small multi-location businesses — restaurants, retail chains, gyms — that need scheduling but don't want to pay for a full HR suite.

    Plans: Single location or schedule $2/mo per seat · Multiple locations or schedules $5/mo per seat

    From $2/mo Free trial When I Work pricing → Alternatives →
  4. Planday

    Shift planning for hourly workforces.

    At under $5/seat, Planday undercuts most workforce management competitors and positions itself as the budget-friendly entry point for hourly/shift-based businesses — but the mandatory minimums mean it's not actually chasing the smallest teams. It's fighting for the mid-market restaurant, retail, and hospitality accounts that want enterprise-ish scheduling without an enterprise contract.

    Plans: STARTER $2/mo per seat · PLUS $4/mo per seat · PRO Contact Sales

    From $2/mo Free trial Planday pricing → Alternatives →
  5. 15Five

    Performance management that drives results.

    At $4-16/seat/month, 15Five lands mid-market — pricier than bare-bones survey tools like Officevibe but cheaper than enterprise performance suites like Lattice or Culture Amp once you factor in their add-on costs. They're clearly chasing HR teams at mid-sized companies who want performance management without an enterprise sales cycle or enterprise price tag.

    Plans: Engage $4/mo per seat · Perform $11/mo per seat · Total Platform $16/mo per seat

  6. Bonusly

    Employee recognition and rewards.

    At $5/user/month, Bonusly sits in the budget-to-mid range of the recognition software category — cheaper than enterprise suites like Workhuman but not the rock-bottom option some point solutions offer. They're clearly chasing SMBs and mid-market teams who want AI-assisted recognition without paying enterprise prices or sitting through a demo.

    Plans: Free $0/mo · Team + Bizy $5/mo · Organization + Bizy Contact Sales

    From $5/mo Free plan Free trial Bonusly pricing → Alternatives →
  7. Deputy

    Shift scheduling and time clocks.

    Deputy sits in the low-to-mid range of workforce management tools, cheap enough to compete with basic scheduling apps but with enough depth to poach customers from pricier all-in-one HR platforms. They're clearly courting shift-based businesses (retail, hospitality, healthcare) where per-seat costs need to stay low because margins are thin and headcounts are high.

    Plans: Lite $5/mo per seat · Core $6/mo per seat · Pro $9/mo per seat

    From $5/mo Free trial Deputy pricing → Alternatives →
  8. Sage HR

    HR software for small businesses.

    At £5/seat base, they're positioned as a mid-market affordable entry point, but the modular pricing means a fully-loaded instance can rival pricier all-in-one competitors. They're targeting SMBs who want to start lean and expand — not enterprises looking for a single comprehensive platform out of the box.

    Plans: Sage HR $5/mo per seat

    From $5/mo Free trial Sage HR pricing → Alternatives →
  9. Perdoo

    OKR and strategy execution.

    At $6.40 and $8.00 per seat, Perdoo lands solidly in the budget-to-mid-tier range for OKR software — cheap enough to undercut enterprise-focused players like Gtmhub or Ally.io successors, but still a real paid product, not a loss-leader. They're clearly chasing price-sensitive mid-market teams who want OKR structure without enterprise-software sticker shock.

    Plans: Free $0/mo per seat · Premium $6/mo per seat · Supreme $8/mo per seat

    From $6/mo Free plan Perdoo pricing → Alternatives →
  10. iSpring

    eLearning authoring and LMS.

    This is aggressively cheap for an authoring-tool-plus-LMS play — sub-$7/seat undercuts most course-authoring and corporate LMS competitors that charge $10-15+/seat at similar volumes. They're clearly hunting L&D teams and SMBs who got sticker shock from Articulate or Docebo and want authoring + hosting without the enterprise price tag.

    Plans: Business $6/mo per seat · Enterprise Contact Sales

    From $6/mo Free trial iSpring pricing → Alternatives →
  11. 360Learning

    Collaborative learning platform.

    At $8/seat, 360Learning undercuts most enterprise LMS players on paper, but by pushing Business and Enterprise behind 'contact sales,' they're really competing for mid-market and enterprise L&D budgets, not bargain hunters comparing sticker prices.

    Plans: Team $8/mo · Business Contact Sales · Enterprise Contact Sales

    From $8/mo Free trial 360Learning pricing → Alternatives →
  12. Factorial

    Time, talent, and finance for SMBs.

    At $8/seat, Factorial is positioned as a mid-market alternative to heavier platforms like Workday or SAP SuccessFactors, while undercutting them significantly on price. They're going after SMBs and scaling companies that want modular enterprise-ish features without the enterprise price tag.

    Plans: Factorial $8/mo per seat

  13. Justworks

    PEO with payroll and benefits.

    Justworks sits mid-to-premium in the PEO space — pricier per-employee than bare-bones payroll tools like Gusto's base tier, but competitive with PEO heavyweights like TriNet or Insperity. The EOR price at $599/employee/month is steep, positioning them as a premium option for companies that need it occasionally rather than as a primary global hiring strategy.

    Plans: Payroll $8/mo per seat · PEO Basic $79/mo per seat · PEO Plus $124/mo per seat · EOR $599/mo per seat

  14. Patriot Software

    Low-cost payroll and accounting software for US small businesses.

    Patriot undercuts QuickBooks and Gusto pretty aggressively on sticker price — this is the budget play for small businesses and solopreneurs who find the big names overbuilt and overpriced. They're winning the price-sensitive SMB that just wants clean books and payroll without paying for HR suites they'll never use.

    Plans: Basic Payroll $8/mo · Accounting Basic $10/mo · Accounting Premium $15/mo · Full Service Payroll $18/mo

  15. BambooHR

    HR software for small businesses.

    At $10-25 per employee, BambooHR sits mid-market — pricier than bare-bones HRIS tools but well under enterprise suites like Workday or ADP's higher tiers. They're courting SMBs and growing mid-size companies that want a polished, all-in-one HR system without an enterprise sales cycle or custom quote.

    Plans: Core $10/mo per seat · Pro $17/mo per seat · Elite $25/mo per seat

  16. Lattice

    People management platform.

    Lattice sits mid-to-premium in the performance management space — pricier than point solutions but positioned as the all-in-one alternative to stitching together separate engagement, OKR, and review tools. They're chasing mid-market and up, not startups, which the $4K annual minimum makes pretty explicit.

    Plans: Foundations $13/mo per seat · Enterprise Contact Sales

  17. Manatal

    AI applicant tracking system for recruitment agencies and in-house teams, priced per user with job and candidate limits.

    At $19-59 per seat, Manatal undercuts legacy recruiting platforms like Bullhorn or Greenhouse by a wide margin, positioning itself as the budget-to-mid-market pick for agencies and SMBs that still want AI features without enterprise-grade price tags. They're clearly chasing teams priced out of bigger ATS players rather than competing head-on for large enterprise deals outside the Custom tier.

    Plans: Professional Plan $19/mo per seat · Enterprise Plan $39/mo per seat · Enterprise Plus Plan $59/mo per seat · Custom Plan Contact Sales

    From $19/mo Free trial Manatal pricing → Alternatives →
  18. CharlieHR

    HR software for small companies.

    At the 1-4 person bracket, $21/mo is aggressively cheap for HR software — clearly a land-grab price to hook very early-stage startups who wouldn't otherwise pay for HR tools at all. The 75%-off first-6-months offer reinforces that this is a low-friction entry play, not a premium positioning; they're competing with 'do nothing' or spreadsheets, not enterprise HRIS players.

    Plans: charlie $21/mo per seat · charlie grow $200/mo per seat

    From $21/mo Free trial CharlieHR pricing → Alternatives →
  19. Zoho Recruit

    ATS for recruiters and HR.

    At $25-50/seat, Zoho Recruit undercuts most dedicated ATS players like Greenhouse or Lever, positioning itself as the budget-friendly Zoho ecosystem play rather than a premium enterprise TA suite. They're clearly courting cost-conscious SMBs and staffing agencies who'd otherwise cobble together spreadsheets or a cheaper generic ATS.

    Plans: FREE $0/mo per seat · STANDARD $25/mo per seat · ENTERPRISE $50/mo per seat

    From $25/mo Free plan Free trial Zoho Recruit pricing → Alternatives →
  20. Oyster

    Global employment made simple.

    Plans: Global Contractors $29/mo · People Services $300/mo · Employer of Record $699/mo

    From $29/mo Free trial Oyster pricing → Alternatives →
  21. Remote

    Global HR, payroll, and EOR.

    Remote sits in the premium-to-mid range depending on the product — its EOR pricing is on the higher end compared to competitors who sometimes undercut with $499-$599 flat rates, but its $29/mo contractor tools are aggressively cheap to pull in smaller teams. They're clearly playing a land-and-expand game: hook you with cheap contractor management, then upsell into the higher-margin EOR and Contractor of Record services.

    Plans: Payroll $29/mo · Contractor Management $29/mo · Equity $39/mo · Contractor Management Plus $99/mo · Professional Employer Organization $99/mo · Contractor of Record $325/mo · Employer of Record $699/mo

  22. SurePayroll

    Online payroll service for small businesses and household employers, by Paychex.

    Plans: Small Business $29/mo · Nanny & Household Payroll $39/mo

  23. Homebase

    Scheduling and payroll for hourly teams.

    Sits mid-market in the hourly workforce management space — pricier than bare-bones scheduling apps but noticeably cheaper than full HR platforms like Gusto or Rippling once you factor in the free Basic tier. They're clearly hunting small, hourly-heavy businesses (restaurants, retail) who need scheduling and compliance but can't stomach enterprise HR pricing.

    Plans: Basic $0/mo · Essentials $30/mo · Plus $70/mo · All-in-One $120/mo

    From $30/mo Free plan Free trial Homebase pricing → Alternatives →
  24. 7shifts

    Team management for restaurants.

    Sitting mid-market against the likes of When I Work and Homebase, 7shifts isn't the cheapest scheduling tool out there but it's clearly cheaper than enterprise workforce suites like Deputy's higher tiers or UKG. They're chasing restaurant operators specifically — not generic shift-work businesses — so the positioning leans on deep vertical features rather than being the low-price leader.

    Plans: Comp $0/mo · Essentials $44/mo · Pro $89/mo · Premium $149/mo

    From $44/mo Free plan Free trial 7shifts pricing → Alternatives →
  25. Gusto

    Payroll, benefits, and HR.

    Gusto sits mid-market — pricier than bare-bones payroll tools but cheaper than enterprise HRIS platforms like Rippling or Justworks once you factor in per-person costs at scale. They're chasing small businesses and startups who want payroll + light HR in one place without needing a dedicated HR hire.

    Plans: Simple $49/mo · Plus $80/mo · Premium $180/mo

  26. OnPay

    Full-service payroll, HR, and benefits software for small businesses.

    No free trial and no free plan puts OnPay firmly in commit-to-buy territory, which is unusual for SMB payroll where competitors often dangle a trial to hook you in. The bundling discounts suggest they know their à la carte pricing can look expensive stacked up against all-in-one competitors, so they're using bundle discounts to soften that sticker shock.

    Plans: Payroll Essentials $49/mo

  27. JazzHR

    Recruiting software for SMBs.

    JazzHR sits in the budget-to-mid tier of the ATS market, undercutting the Greenhouse/Lever crowd by a wide margin while still charging enough to feel like a 'real' tool, not a toy. They're clearly courting SMBs and lean HR teams who got sticker shock from enterprise ATS quotes.

    Plans: Hero $83/mo · Plus $290/mo · Pro $459/mo

  28. Crelate

    Recruiting platform combining ATS, candidate and client CRM, and onboarding for staffing and search agencies.

    At $85-$119/seat with no free trial or free plan, Crelate sits mid-to-premium in the recruiting ATS/CRM space — not cheap enough to win freelance recruiters on price, but not enterprise-only either given the published entry point. They're clearly going after small-to-mid agencies who want staffing-specific features without an enterprise sales cycle for the base tiers.

    Plans: Essentials $85/mo per seat · Business $119/mo per seat · Business Plus Contact Sales · Platform Pricing Contact Sales

  29. Weekdone

    OKRs and weekly check-ins.

    Plans: Free $0/mo per seat · Premium $108/mo per seat

    From $108/mo Free plan Free trial Weekdone pricing → Alternatives →
  30. Easygenerator

    Browser-based e-learning authoring tool for employee-created training, with SCORM and xAPI export.

    At $116/mo for a single seat, Easygenerator sits toward the premium end of the authoring-tool market, well above budget tools like iSpring or Visme. They're clearly chasing corporate L&D teams who'll pay for a polished, easy-to-use builder rather than cost-conscious freelancers or small training shops.

    Plans: Pro $116/mo per seat · Team $582/mo per seat · Enterprise Contact Sales

    From $116/mo Free trial Easygenerator pricing → Alternatives →
  31. TalentLMS

    Training platform teams actually use.

    TalentLMS sits mid-market — not a rock-bottom freemium tool, but nowhere near the enterprise LMS price tags of Cornerstone or Docebo. The free plan (capped at 5 users, 10 courses) is a lead-gen play to hook small teams and solo trainers, while the paid tiers target growing SMBs and mid-size companies that outgrow spreadsheet-based training tracking but aren't ready for a six-figure LMS contract.

    Plans: Core $119/mo per seat · Grow $229/mo per seat · Pro $449/mo per seat · Enterprise Contact Sales

    From $119/mo Free plan TalentLMS pricing → Alternatives →
  32. Loxo

    Talent intelligence platform combining ATS, CRM, sourcing and outreach on an 850M-profile talent graph.

    At $149-199/seat/month, Loxo sits toward the premium end of recruiting CRM/ATS pricing — well above budget applicant trackers but positioned as an all-in-one talent intelligence platform rather than a point solution. They're chasing recruiting agencies and executive search firms willing to pay up for a unified system instead of stitching together separate sourcing, CRM, and ATS tools.

    Plans: Core $149/mo per seat · Professional $199/mo per seat · Enterprise Contact Sales

    From $149/mo Free trial Loxo pricing → Alternatives →
  33. BreezyHR

    Modern hiring, end to end.

    Breezy sits mid-market — pricier than bare-bones applicant trackers but way cheaper than enterprise suites like Greenhouse or Lever. They're clearly going after small-to-mid-size companies that want a modern ATS without an enterprise sales cycle or six-figure contract.

    Plans: Bootstrap $0/mo · Startup $189/mo · Growth $329/mo · Business $529/mo · Custom Pro Plan Contact Sales

    From $189/mo Free plan Free trial BreezyHR pricing → Alternatives →
  34. Workable

    Recruiting software and ATS.

    Workable sits mid-to-upper market in the SMB/mid-market ATS space — pricier than bare-bones applicant trackers but nowhere near Greenhouse or Lever enterprise pricing. They're clearly courting growing companies that have outgrown spreadsheet-and-LinkedIn hiring but aren't ready for a heavyweight enterprise HR suite.

    Plans: Standard $299/mo · Premier $599/mo · Enterprise $719/mo

    From $299/mo Free trial Workable pricing → Alternatives →
  35. Ashby

    All-in-one recruiting platform.

    Ashby sits in the premium-but-not-top-shelf tier of the ATS market — pricier than legacy tools like BambooHR's hiring module or Breezy, but positioned as the modern alternative to Greenhouse and Lever without Greenhouse's enterprise sticker shock. They're clearly hunting mid-market and growth-stage tech companies that outgrew a scrappy ATS but aren't ready for a six-figure enterprise contract.

    Plans: Foundations Plan $400/mo · Plus Plan Contact Sales · Enterprise Plan Contact Sales · For your existing ATS Contact Sales

  36. Multiplier

    Employ talent in 150+ countries.

    At $459-519/employee/month, Multiplier lands in the premium tier of the EOR market — well above budget players like Remote or Deel's entry-level EOR pricing, which often start closer to $400 or offer more aggressive volume discounts. They're clearly not chasing price-sensitive startups here; this pricing says 'we want mid-market and enterprise HR teams who value compliance certainty over saving a few bucks per head.'

    Plans: Core $459/mo per seat · Growth $519/mo per seat · Enterprise Contact Sales

  37. Articulate 360

    E-learning authoring suite including Storyline and Rise, with review and course distribution tools.

    At $1,449-$1,749 per seat, Articulate 360 is priced as a premium, established-player tool — this isn't a scrappy Rise-competitor pricing to win on cost, it's banking on being the incumbent standard for corporate e-learning teams who already have budget. The Frontline credit model is a separate bet to capture deskless-workforce training budgets that don't fit the traditional seat model.

    Plans: Frontline $500/mo · Articulate 360 AI $1749/mo · Hybrid Contact Sales

    From $500/mo Free trial Articulate 360 pricing → Alternatives →
  38. dominKnow

    Cloud e-learning authoring suite and LCMS for responsive course creation and software simulations.

    Plans: BUSINESS $2000/mo per seat · BUSINESS PLUS $2500/mo per seat · ENTERPRISE Contact Sales

  39. ADP

    Payroll and HR services platform for businesses of all sizes (RUN, Workforce Now).

    ADP plays in the premium/legacy lane against Gusto, Rippling, and Paychex — it's rarely the cheap option, and hiding all pricing behind a sales call reinforces that it's built for buyers who want a rep, an SLA, and enterprise-grade compliance backup rather than a self-checkout SaaS experience. They're chasing small-to-mid businesses that are willing to trade transparency and speed for ADP's brand trust and hand-holding.

    Plans: Essential Payroll Contact Sales · Enhanced Payroll Contact Sales · Complete Payroll & HR Plus Contact Sales · HR Pro Payroll & HR Contact Sales

    Custom pricing ADP pricing → Alternatives →
  40. Connecteam

    All-in-one app for deskless teams.

    Connecteam positions itself as the affordable, deskless-workforce alternative to bulkier HR/ops suites like Deputy or BambooHR, leaning hard on the free tier to hook small businesses before upselling. Hiding pricing past the first tier is a mid-market/enterprise sales tactic, signaling they're trying to compete for bigger accounts without scaring them off with a public price ladder.

    Plans: Small Business $0/mo · Basic Contact Sales · Advanced Contact Sales · Expert Contact Sales · Enterprise Contact Sales

    Custom pricing Free plan Free trial Connecteam pricing → Alternatives →
  41. Deel

    Global payroll and compliance.

    Playing the enterprise premium game by hiding all pricing behind sales walls — signals they're going after companies with serious budgets who expect white-glove treatment. They're betting that HR/payroll buyers prefer negotiated deals over transparent pricing.

    Plans: Standard Contact Sales · Enterprise Contact Sales

  42. Docebo

    AI-powered enterprise learning platform for employee and customer training

    Docebo plays in the premium tier of the corporate LMS market, priced above SMB tools like TalentLMS but positioned to compete with Cornerstone and SAP Litmos for larger, complex deployments. They're chasing mid-market-to-enterprise buyers who want AI-driven content curation and are willing to skip price transparency for a tailored enterprise pitch.

    Plans: Elevate Contact Sales · Enterprise Contact Sales

  43. Greenhouse

    Hiring software for growing companies.

    Greenhouse plays in the premium tier of ATS software, positioned above lightweight tools like BreezyHR or Freshteam and going head-to-head with Lever and SmartRecruiters for mid-market and enterprise budgets. They're not chasing price-sensitive startups — they're selling structured hiring rigor to companies that treat recruiting as a strategic function.

    Plans: Core Contact Sales · Plus Contact Sales · Pro Contact Sales

  44. LearnUpon

    Corporate LMS for employee, customer, and association training

    Sitting in the mid-to-upper range of the LMS market, LearnUpon plays alongside Docebo and TalentLMS but leans more upmarket by refusing to show pricing at all — a classic signal they're chasing mid-market and enterprise buyers who expect sales-led procurement, not self-serve SMBs pricing-shopping on a website.

    Plans: LearnUpon for Employees Contact Sales · LearnUpon for Customer Education Contact Sales · LearnUpon for Associations Contact Sales

  45. Lever

    Talent acquisition suite.

    Going full enterprise with zero transparency puts them in premium territory — they're betting their brand is strong enough that buyers will engage sales without seeing prices. Classic move when you're expensive but want to control the conversation.

  46. Litmos

    Corporate LMS for employee and customer training

    Hiding all pricing behind a lead form signals Litmos is playing in the mid-market-to-enterprise range, competing with the likes of Docebo and Cornerstone rather than cheap self-serve tools like TalentLMS. The lack of any published number or free trial is a deliberate filter to keep low-intent, price-sensitive buyers out of the funnel.

    Plans: Foundation Contact Sales · Platinum Contact Sales · Platinum AI Contact Sales

  47. Motivosity

    Gratitude-driven employee recognition.

    Sitting entirely behind a quote wall with a $3,000 floor signals Motivosity is chasing mid-market and up, not scrappy startups comparing five vendors on a pricing page. They're positioned as a premium, sales-assisted alternative to self-serve recognition tools like Bonusly, betting that buyers want a guided, culture-consulting sales process rather than a credit card checkout.

    Plans: For Celebrating People Contact Sales · For Building Culture Contact Sales · For Scaling Globally Contact Sales

  48. Personio

    HR operating system for Europe's SMBs.

    Sitting in the mid-to-upper range of the HR/HRIS category, Personio targets mid-market European companies (100-2000 employees) who've outgrown spreadsheet-based HR but aren't enterprise-scale yet. Hiding all pricing behind a demo signals they're playing a premium, sales-led game rather than competing on transparency or self-serve simplicity.

    Plans: Core Contact Sales · Core PRO Contact Sales

  49. Recruitee

    Collaborative hiring software.

    By hiding all prices and pushing everyone to a sales call, Recruitee positions itself as a mid-market to upmarket ATS rather than a cheap self-serve tool — they're competing with players like Greenhouse and Workable rather than bargain-bin applicant trackers. This approach also signals they want control over deal sizing, likely to flex pricing based on company size or region.

    Plans: Start Contact Sales · Advance Contact Sales · Optimize Contact Sales

    Custom pricing Free trial Recruitee pricing → Alternatives →
  50. Rippling

    Workforce management platform.

    Quote-only pricing typically signals premium positioning in the HR tech space. They're clearly not competing on being the cheapest option — this is the move of a company that thinks their integrated platform justifies custom enterprise pricing.

  51. SAP SuccessFactors

    SAP's cloud human capital management suite covering core HR, payroll, and talent.

    This is the premium enterprise play, full stop — no free trial, no published pricing, multi-year contracts signal they're chasing large orgs already committed to SAP's ecosystem, not scrappy teams comparison-shopping. They're competing with Workday and Oracle HCM for big enterprise HR budgets, not with mid-market tools like BambooHR or Gusto.

    Plans: SAP HCM Base package Contact Sales · SAP HCM Premium package Contact Sales

  52. Trainual

    Playbooks for training your team.

    Trainual is competing against tools like Scribe, Guru, and Whale that show at least some pricing upfront, so hiding everything behind demos signals they're playing a higher-touch, higher-price game rather than competing on transparency or self-serve speed. They're going after mid-market and larger SMBs who expect a sales process, not solopreneurs comparison-shopping on a pricing page.

    Plans: Core Contact Sales · Pro Contact Sales · Premium Contact Sales · Enterprise Contact Sales

  53. UKG

    HR, payroll, and workforce management suites for mid-size and enterprise (UKG Ready, UKG Pro).

    UKG plays in the mid-to-upper tier of HCM/workforce management, competing with the likes of ADP Workforce Now and Paycor rather than budget payroll tools — this isn't a self-serve, price-sensitive product. The all-custom, sales-gated pricing signals they're chasing mid-market and enterprise accounts willing to sit through a sales cycle rather than SMBs who want a price on the website.
